Encouragement 4 The Day: "You will love again..."


I came across a posting Cancer kiss-off: Getting dumped after diagnosis” an article which primarily discussed women who were deserted after being diagnosed with cancer.   One participant to the article mentioned coming home after her first radiation treatment only to discover an empty house-her husband had just UP and LEFT her! (I know of no better way to convey my sentiments)
I could only imagine the immeasurable pain and disappointment now coupled with the fear of a compounded unknown. Modern day Jobs…that’s what came to mind. This poem was written after a friend informed me of her divorce and I think/hope that it’s appropriate in this case also.
I used to think that the phrase “Time does heal” was so cliché but indeed it is true. Time may not cure but it does foster healing.

You Will Love Again

You promised forever and today
Your ‘forever’ is gone.
Allow your heart to heal from its pain.
And it will heal.
It’s larger and stronger than you believe.
Leave it open.
Employ love,
Not pain to speak your story.
You have loved before…
In time,
You will love,
And be loved again.
