And Can There Be
And can there be another place
Where love and kindness find their space
A place where carefulness controls
Where tricks and treachery
Fall in holes
And smoothness paves
The daily paths
Of those
Who have no sense of ease,
Whose struggles never seem to cease?
Yes, indeed, there is a place
Where hopes and future have a face.
Not made of things not merely matter
Not loads and loads of useless chatter.
True hope is real
In reach of all
Whose voices call
Confessing need
And then proceed
To trust that love
That holy love
Of precious, precious Jesus.
