Read the following verse, and follow the instructions. May it help you if you’re dealing with sorrow or grief.

When the geese fly beyond the

southern horizon’s bounds,

And silver frost kisses

the frozen ground,

Find a rock and hold it to

your aching heart.

Tell it your sorrow so your

healing may start.

Then go to a lonely place where

leaves lie sere and dead.

Think of the sad words

you have just said.

Now dig a small earthly grave

to contain your grief.

Bury the rock, cover it with

earth and decaying leaves.

Walk away and allow the grave

to consume your sorrow.

May your heart be filled with

hope come tomorrow.
