Poem for Wendy

So many sorrows, so many tears. So much hunger for love and for peace. Why is it so hard to see tomorrow, why is it so hard to find our way.

So many days that go on forever. So many nights that might never end. Why must the pain last so long and the joy be so hard to find?

Somewhere there must be something better. Somewhere there must be peace and light. Hold on to those around you and never quit the fight.

Do you feel His arms around you? Does He whisper in your ears? Are the stars still shining down? Is the moon still keeping watch? Do the breezes rush through your hair and the rain still wash your face?

Then the Lord is still in heaven, and the joy will still be yours. If you just hold on til tomorrow and keep watching for the dawn.
