Question not the heart who bleeds, The one who survives the wars who deceive, Like the quiet smile, blessed by eyes Who glisten with joy, inspiration and wonder, Laughing at the dark and stirring the dreams Beyond dark’s shadows, Where gentleness breathes, exasperated By the night who beckons – tempting Hearts to remember only the sorrow and grief, Feelings leading a soul to defeat Enduring the desperation of dusk, Beaten down by the worries, the fears and lusts, Expressions of a life who has been overcome By the revelations of despair, discord All the misfortunes that come to the lives Who are not lived, but merely survived Itching ears only hear the apprehension, Prayed by the soul who is left without recompense For the light that falls by the wayside, Always inspiring, stirring hearts to abide In the dream, the soothing, the embrace of hope Who comes from knowing that, despite the dark, There is a second chance, a simplicity, a habit Found by the soul who believes, the heart who agrees… In life, despite all the heartbreak and longing, There is the moment when there comes a knowing That only love, love from above, can give the soul What it needs, the beauty and the faith, The serenity and grace – all the love that comes to those Who simply know that God is the One who knows Without love, there is no life, no hope, no finding the way Through the sorrow and pain – without delay, It is the love of His Son who makes the way seem reachable, Makes the prayer seems answerable, Makes the world seem like it has a chance… Without His love, there is no way But, with Him beside me – I know love will abide And the joy inside me, that will keep me alive Inspired by the light who shines on my soul, The light of a love far brighter than any sun, The light that comes to life because there is the SON, The only SON who makes a way for everyone!
