Change

What is hope if it isn’t creating change

What’s a fire if it doesn’t start with a flame

What’s a tear if it doesn’t cleanse the hurt eating your soul away

What’s a hand if you’re not reaching 
out to help someone

What's a song without music, but words falling off a sheet

What’s rain if you can’t run and dance in it

What’s storm if thunder isn’t preceded by lightening

What’s snow if you can’t make a snow angel

and taste it on your tongue,  just one time

What’s a sunset with no color and light?

What’s life without love?

Just aimless existence, anything but life

What’s a Saviour without anyone to save

What’ a challenge if there’s no fight

no victory, no triumph

No uphill climb

No one said it would be easy

but faith isn’t about questioning

it’s believing...

It’s making every second count

even when you can’t find time

It’s loving til it hurts

it’s forgiveness and mercy

it’s in saying that one word

it’s getting up,

no matter how many times you fall

yes, because we all get tired

we all get hurt

we all feel weak sometimes

we could  all use a hand some days,

or a shoulder

there’s strength in affliction

it blooms more with every trial

we all long to be loved

we all need to be loved, just every once in a while
