Consolation by Elisabeth Cooper
Let me bring you in
To rest a while
Until all your tears make a salty sea
And love comes in like softness to win
Sit at my table
Like a friend at midnight calling
For grace and understanding
Come to the meadow
Lay beside me as the stillness
Moves the pain to leave
Let me bring you in
I’ll stand so you can fall
inside my heart tonight
And kindness isn’t faith long forgotten
Run to the river
For my healing in the water
Stirring as doubt flees
Sit in the garden
Where memories are planted
In the forgiving soil of justice
