Suicide: Healing the Hurt
If I had told you
Life is not so bad
Would you have changed?
I don’t think so
If I had said
Be patient
It’ll be all right
Would you have believed me?
Probably not
If I had whispered
This is the way it is
Perhaps you would have agreed
Then done the deed
Now I turn to your memory
And to you
And say
Be healed
Be healed
And go in peace
For you are loved
And now I bow to your spirit
And ask
That insight walks with you
On the eternal way
May wisdom and harmony
Be your companions
For you are loved
And now I turn to those
That truly loved you
And say
Be healed
Be healed
And go in peace
Breathe the breath of harmony
Know the gift of forgiveness
For you are loved
Never forget
That in turmoil
There are the seeds of calm
And in pain
There is reconciliation
In sorrow
There is the memory of laughter
And in pain
There is compassion
Just turn the page
And learn
Those that believe
Will know
And all will be well
And next time
When we’re all together
May you be blessed
Blessed with the knowledge
And the power
And the glory
Of knowing
That there is hope
Strong as rock
Soft as water
Free as air
Intense as fire
Hope: radiant, beautiful
Loving and brave
And knowing this
And knowing you
We offer this
Our heartfelt blessing
