Dark Valley


      Know that our prayers
      are with you and your family
      as the grief
      of your loved one’s passing
      weighs heavy on you
      like a smothering blanket.

   We pray that God’s grace enfold you
   with a tender embrace;
   that you feel God’s presence
   in the tears, voices, shoulders,
   and care of friends and family
   from far and near;

so your walk through the valley
of the shadow of death
will allow you to see and be led
to the light of hope that shines
from the mountain of God’s love.
