Beacon of Hope
Beacon of hope

The Lord and I, we spoke for a spell;
I asked why I'm so different and why He did it so well.
"Where are my people, the good and the brave?
Why do I get to be alone in a superficial world?
Where are the deep thinkers?
Those with creativity?
Where are those with kindness and integrity?
Who do I belong to, when money and power corrupts so many?
And why am I often the one to stand alone against God's enemies?"
"My child", he said, "I forged you to be of light and good,
To be a beacon of hope and purity in a world gone mad;
Standing alone is what happens to the light in the dark,
But while you are still breathing you can create a spark.
One day you'll understand how many lives you saved,
So don't give up, keep on having hope and faith; be brave;
For the time will come when evil in men is thwarted for good,
And My Kingdom will rise again and save humanity's soul.
I know it's hard to understand why you walk alone,
Along this path of righteousness to be My own;
But out there you're a warrior with Michael too,
And in the end, you'll triumph by just being you."
