I see you there so filled with bitterness and hate
Riding upon the swells of anger that seek to hide your pain
Strike first is your motto; tear apart and kill
Oh would that you could accept
The peace that is offered with love
But you cast aside every offer,
With contempt you deny all comers
And sad am I as I walk away
No joy do I take in your sorrow
Disguised, though it is, in rage and acrimony
And as I stand on a world away
I pray and I pray and I pray
God alone knows your burdens
And what thorns press against your side
How I wish you could set aside pride
And open your heart once again
To hear sweet laughter from within you
But you curl your fingers into closed fists
Denying all help and all blessings
It is a sorrowful day
My heart breaks in two within me
But I choose to live in peace
And I turn my face to the sun
And leave you in God’s hands
What a fight!!
