Moral Test

As the wind howls outside in the night Things thrash around breaking with its might I think about the good and evil Raising their faces, showing their will Brewing like a storm in our country A storm bound for landing, not to flee A time of reckoning is showing As we watch and we speak without knowing, What the damage will be when it’s done Who will survive retaining blessed love? Who will hold onto faith from above? Pleas for justice are calling abound Some facts disappear without a sound Spreading truth, not games, mean the most now To hold onto it, through this somehow Faith is the answer, restoring hope As we travel this slippery slope Let us not forget our core values In the whirlwind of hatred on news As the wind howls, keep calm inside Emerge from conflict, knowing we tried The truth is the seed within your heart Do not let it go or break apart This influential turmoil is strong Many choices to make right or wrong With every single moral test, Winds may be strong, so let’s do our best Heidi Sands 2/26/19

Sometimes the wind howls so loudly that it's hard to hear the truth, but it's always there. It's faith that keeps us believing in things we cannot see or hear. Beautifully written, Heidi! Hugs, Carolyn
