Control

I have resigned myself to realize 
That there are things 
I cannot control
And what I can control 
Is greater than the ground 
Beneath my feet
And greater than the wind 
That whispers Of better days ahead
I can hold in my heart words 
that welcome life
Or drown in the hate 
That harbors the silence
Of the souls 
That need
Loved
