THE COMFORTING by MARGARET E. BRUNER

First Line: I WOULD NOT HAVE YOU BACK ON EARTH
Last Line: THE WORDS YOU CANNOT SAY.
Subject(s): COMFORT;
I would not have you back on earth,
Your body racked with pain --
I know that longing for your mirth --
Your comradeship, is vain.

And yet, when I sit wondering,
As night is merged with day,
It seems your spirit comes to bring
The words you cannot say.
