Tell Somebody
We walk through life from day to day,
Sun up to sun down; and then hours into the night.
We try to find a path that will meet our feet,
with challenge, and not regret.
Regardless it is a hard road.
Yet…
Miracles are real.
Have you ever seen angels dance?
Have you heard a child laugh,
after being sick for a long time?
Have you ever seen a mother,
hold her infant close? Safe.
Have you ever listened to rain drops on leaves?
Wind rushing through trees?
Bird songs that echo like memories,
we… long to repeat.
I have walked in dark places.
I have a need, to speak.
All that I must say…
I have no words!
I would sing you a song, but I am bad at that.
I would cook you food that might help with the shakes.
Yet, it is never “I”, but “Him.”
A small bird can do nothing else,
but spread seeds as they do the very thing,
they are meant to do.
Amen.
