Without hope for the gentler light That shines across the heart who feels Abundant grace and inspiration Joy that fulfills the spirit’s wish Without the beauty beneath the smile Encouraging the heart to care With laughter and joy that does express All the wonder for the heart to share Without inspiration that leaves The spirit with assured peace And the mind with a wisdom within Fulfilling the longing to give unconditionally Without kindness that weaves a web Of lavender hope and lilac laughter There is only the feeling of pure dread That comes from a lack of compassion Without sympathy or empathy for another Heart who listens to the whisper of hope And prays for a way to find encouragement In a world of disillusion and disappointment Without benevolence that gently touches The gentle faith of one who hears the hope Falling all around like a soft and soothing rain Erasing all worry and confusion with faith Without gentle pleasure that compares to The beating of a heart who knows joy And gives back with a smile and sincerity That love is the answer to free us all From fear

We should heed Our Lord's words: Do not be afraid. ~~
