Breathing Silent Hope Through the Pain - 1
Breathing silent hope through pain and its fears
Reaching past the sorrow to face the night
Learning to let go of hurt that haunts years
Lifting up one who’s down so they can fight
Life’s struggles sometimes overwhelm the plight
Show the world that hopes can be dashed by tears
Remind hearts that worries will dim the light
Breathing silent hope through pain and its fears
Loss soon will question the storm as it clears
Welcoming sunny skies that are so bright
Erasing the gray cloud who soon appears
Reaching past the sorrow to face the night
Dismal grief traps the soul who is in flight
Bringing despair as the dream disappears
Leaving sorrows that seem so filled with spite
Learning to let go of hurt that haunts years
Laughter becomes silent among these peers
Relief from troubles is full of insight
Yet no one can seem to ease hurt with cheers
Lifting up one who’s down so they can fight
Yearnings for comfort come out as I write
The pain rains down like they are real pairs
To shadow spirits with dread full of fright
When will I find the grace of God who cares
Breathing silent hope through pain….
