may sweetly touch the ear.
Now and then a quiet song
will clear the mind of fear.

can ease a load of care.
Stories told in memory
diminish all despair.

draws angel arms around.
Counting blessings, great and small,
helps gratitude abound.
These acts, all sympathetic,
will kindly play their part.
But seldom do they dry the tears
shed mutely in the heart. — Richelle E. Goodrich
