To the heavy-hearted:

In the dark times,
In the lonely spaces,
In the teetering between
Hope and hopeless--

Hold on.

When you are drowning,
When you are flailing,
When you cannot make your
Wobbly knees stand--

Reach out.

If you are broken,
If you are scarred,
If shame is your shadow
And sorrow your cloak--

Remember.

You are loved.
You are forgiven.
You are not forgotten.
And you have been called good.
