Held in the Light

Held in the Light 

The road you’re on is steep and unkind,

A heavy storm that clouds the mind.

And though I cannot walk your miles,

Or magically bring back your smiles,

I want to whisper through the noise:

Jamie 

You are so loved. You are our choice. One we pray for the healing you have a right to. 

The treatments take, the body tires,

As you walk through these fierce, unfair fires.

But underneath the pain and fear,

Please know that we are standing near.

We hold your hand when strength runs low,

And guard the hope you cannot show.

We see the grace in how you fight,

Even on the darkest night.

And every day, we hold one view—

A vision of a healed, whole you.

To see you breathe a little deeper,

To see the path ahead grow steeper

Not with burdens, but with joy,

A life the sickness can't destroy.

So rest your heart, let others hold

The weight that makes the spirit cold.

You’re not alone, not for an hour,

We’re sending love, and hope, and power.

The brighter days are coming yet:

A promise that we won't forget.

PS. For a wonderful sister-in-law, Jamie Fontaine, who is wrapped in so much love & prayers.
