There is silence in turmoil… joy in the midst of pain
Sweetness in the bitter… music in the rain

There is light in darkness… illuminated faith shines
Hues of colorful sighs… insights into the signs

There is beauty in unsightliness… kindness in the lost hope
Gentle warmth in a chill… that leaves a way to cope

There is laughter in the sorrow… mirth in the grim
Even though there is mourning… that leaves the eye dim

There is a whisper of inspiration… soothing away the cry
Allowing a tear to pierce the heart… mute the brightest sky

There is grace in the loathing… even hatred brings insight
Precious moments of understanding… can bring pure delight

There is goodness in the shame… for it means a heart is contrite 
No dishonor in remorse… even disgrace is brighter in the moonlight

There is warmth in the winter… even though ice chills the bones
Fires breathe tenderness… to those who won’t throw stones

There is caring in the selfish… when they mend their greed
Welcoming the attention… of those who are selfless indeed

There is love in the callous… even a hard heart can be thawed
When there is the compassion… to give mercy we should applaud
