God of all-encompassing <br />Compassionate eyes, <br />Gaze softly upon <br />Your fragile servants <br />In this delicate life <br />Where our dreams often vanish <br />Like rainy summer mist <br />And our love falls to the ground <br />Like wounded flower petals, <br />Where our days are brief <br />And drenched with inconsolable tears <br />When the ones we love are ill <br />And their healing is not within our touch; <br />Gaze softly and treat us <br />With gentle kindness.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/with-gentle-kindness/
