Tracey lives in small town Nebraska with her husband Tony and three children. In May 2011 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. This blog is a journal where her friends may take the journey of healing and hope with her. Little messages of encouragement and love will never go unnoticed!

'Yea, beds for all who come.'

'Does the road wind up-hill all the way?'
   'Yes, to the very end.'
'Will the day's journey take the whole long day?'
    'From morn to night, my friend.'

'But is there for the night a resting-place?'
    'A roof for when the slow dark hours begin.'
'May not the darkness hide it from my face?'
    'You cannot miss that inn.'

'Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?'
    'Those who have gone before.''
'Then must I knock, or call when just in sight?'
    'They will not keep you standing at that door.'

'Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?'
    'Of labour you shall find the sum.'
'Will there be beds for me and all who seek?'
   'Yea, beds for all who come.'
