Answered Prayer
Pain pierces the heart and injures the soul.
Bleeding and crying, we long to be whole.
Life's selfish acts injure all who are near.
Reaching out for help, but we retract in fear.
We cannot accept kindness as we live in pain.
On beautiful sunny days, we only feel the rain.
Sorrows on sorrows, we only exist on this day.
Faith and hope fade into the dark until we pray.
Slow drifting sands shift through our souls.
In awe, the sands swirl, making a visage whole.
Stars ushered in a being so wonderful and pure.
As his touch melts our woes with love as a cure.
On the Eve of the New Year, our brother mends at night.
Our hope and joy are restored, giving us a future so bright.
We rise in this New Year as our wounds are healed.
Finally, the visage of our brother has been revealed.
