We Are Okay
The heater is running,
I can hear it's pleasant song.
Making the house warm.
We are blessed.
So many this night, are cold.
So many will have nowhere to sleep.
They will probably be hungry.
Not for the first time,
sadly, not for the last.
Veterans and homeless,
immigrants with and without papers...
God sees the hearts of all.
He is coming.
Powerful people,
with too much of everything,
sitting on the backs of those
that have nothing at all.
Food, shelter, safety.
The answer is complicated,
and clear.
It is simple and easy to read,
but hard to understand.
If your heart is not open.
If you are closed off from the truth.
Then the word is "dare".
Step out of the shadow,
into the light of day.
Pray.
Soon the clarity of everything
that is anything at all,
worth living for,
will be made
whole in your life.
Be ready,
if you can...
