Holding Hands

Share It

By Helen Lowrie Marshall

If grief is yours,
Turn to a friend and share it;
An understanding heart
Will help you bear it.
And if joy fills your heart,
Let others share
Your happiness, as well
As your despair.

If faith is yours,
A peace profound and deep,
Let it not be a secret
That you keep
Enshrined, but shrouded,
In your inmost heart —
Tell others, let the whole world
Have a part.
