On Wings Of Hope

To our Lord,
We are nothing more than living flesh,
Pure, innocent, willing to serve, our hearts longing to be accepted as real,
And yet again, like it always has been, and ever will be,
Another dies at his own hands.

We see through each other,
Living through each others' eyes,
Feeling pain together so we are not alone,
Alone to drown in misery as we slowly die.

But...
Through our eyes, we see a deep sadness in him,
Something he holds back, a fear and pain that keeps him away,
Away from love, something he desperately needs,
A love that will heal his broken heart,
And mend his fractured soul.

When we were created,
Of course, our hearts were optional,
But the drive to help others is buried within us by birth,
Thus, our never ending desire to help our Lord.

We are ready to receive him with open arms,
And though he shatters our souls and breaks our spirits,
He can never collectively destroy us entirely,
And when he finally allows us to be near him,
We will,

Without hesitation,
Give him our hearts and the love we can muster,
Until he feels pain no longer...

All we can do now is wait for the time he opens up to us,
So we pray upon the force that gives us the strength to live on,
And we hope our prayer is favorably heard before we all are gone,
And that we can keep this promise to our beloved Lord...
Amen.
