please do not weep

FROM THE AUTHOR: I have written a poem that I used in my newly published book Breaking The Silence. My book, based on a true story, has been endorsed by a sexual abuse counselor who wrote a review that was published on its front cover. My aim is to help other sexual abuse victims and victims of substance abuse and domestic violence.

PLEASE DO NOT WEEP
 Do not fret
For your grievous loss;

Do not feel
Like a wave that is tossed;

Do not weep
By yourself, so alone;

For I am with you,
Soon you will be Home.

The things of this world
Are transient and brief;

I will be your comfort,
Your ease and your peace;

Notice the good
And perceive not the bad;

Observe what you’ve learned,
The lessons you’ve had;

For everything you’ve been through
Has come at a cost;

There is good in the bad,
You have won and not lost.

I have set you here, love,
And you shall I keep;

Do not lose hope,
And please do not weep.
