A Hope

The jeers, the tears, the fears
and all the pain you hide
the love, the desires, the cares
all bundled up inside.
To do, to live, to be
so many times you hear
to know, to feel, to see
will make everything clear.
To shout, to speak, to whisper
your voice longs to do
a word, a phrase, a gesture
seems to be escaping you.
A call, a hand, a friend,
is seeking to find you out
a prayer, a song, an amen
is always with you no doubt.
A hope, a peace, a blessing
bestowed with love and richly
a lord, a life, a healing
will transform you with his beauty.
