Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Yolanda may you rest in peace and to the family, may the comfort of God help you during this difficult time.
