Hand In Hand

Hand in hand
Across the land
Child and woman
Burning sands.

Death defies.
Compromise
Shining skies.
Darkness lies.

As God knows,
Loving glows.
Anger slows.
Mankind grows.

Hate derides.
God presides
Deep inside.
Love abides.

Your title alone caught my eye and reading this gave me such a comforting feeling--it does speak so much truth. Thank you for such an inspiring write, Dane :) Hand in hand, anything is indeed possible (especially with God on our side )
