~ Oh- ~
God of Love,
quell the hunger
~~~~~~~~~~~
a soul is weary
crying out,
wounded;
~ lost. ~
~~~~~
~~~~~~~
~~ Gentle ~~
~ Hand of mercy ~
willing... forever open,
the glory of Heavens light,
beacon for the lost, shelter for-
the-hurting, imprisoned by their
~ pain, longing for liberty, joy- ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~ knowing not. ~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Acceptance is upheld by the
broken, hoping for a haven,
~~ knowing only need; ~~
~~ thirsting for peace ~~
vowing never; to-discard;
~ living, with a faith- ~
~ and quiet conviction ~
of no conditional regard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Lord chime Thy bell ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ hold them in Thy refuge ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ let your mercy cover them where they are. ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~ Yes fulfill them with your spirit of love ~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ that peace may reign in their hearts; and, in its arms their ~
joy;
~~
may never-
~~~~~~~~
~ part. ~

Written In Honor of Brenden Fosters' Faith and Courage...
Poem inspired by the last words of an 11 year old child in Seattle.
Quote by Brenden
“When I leave this world…
I wish to become an angel…
Who accomplishes even more
In heaven…then I did on earth.”
