Some things went wrong, the pain was severe.
As time went on the truth was clear.
There was nothing I could do, nothing
more to say. So I just went on crying
yet another day.
Afraid to open the powerful book for which
I'd find my say, ignoring the angels sent my way.
This was my answer why didn't I realize it before.
This child of hurt and disaster shall cry
in silence no more.
He has given me the answer for when the dusts of guilt, shame,
and hurt do meet. Scatter it on the ground and
and keep the dirt underneath my feet.
