They Were There
When a calming quiet, presence all that was needed.
They were there.
In the excitement and miracle of birth or in the mystery and loss of life.
They were there.
When a silent glance could uplift a patient, family member, or friend.
They were there.
At those times when the unexplainable needs to be explained.
They were there.
When the situation demanded a swift foot and sharp mind.
They were there.
When a gentle touch, a firm push, or an encouraging word was needed.
They were there.
In choosing the best one from a family's "Thank You" box of chocolates.
They were there.
To witness humanity-its beauty, in good times and bad without judgment.
They were there.
And now, that it is time to be on the Greater One's side.
They are there.
