How can we describe the pain of longing? It's not an illness and yet it consumes us and exhausts us, overwhelmingly both body and soul.
How can mere words describe the emptiness inside, while outside one wears a mask of acceptance? Oh fragile mask that falls away at the sound of his name...
Written By Hattie Rist (Zackary's Great Grandma)

until tonight my heart was just half full i'd never known the fruit which fed the soul but now i see what may put to rest my longing for i have seen, the face of love the grace of god, the face of love in silence i feared my heart would remain words unheard inside a separateness of skin but now i know that the skin just veils the soul for i have seen, the face of love the grace of god, the face of love so take my hand and knowing with it i also give my heart wanting never to be separate again let eternity begin if you were flame i'd allow myself to be consumed completely were you wind i would wish you pass through me but now i know that the skin just veils the soul for i have seen, the face of love the grace of god, the face of love Jewel
