i write love

 

I write love

  for the ones who can't speak,
  in their pain they're too weak.
  Broken bones and black and blues,
  those we know and strangers too - this is for you.

I write hope

  that all may know what rescue feels like.
  That even when they huddle up against a wall,
  they know everything will be alright.
  That I can see joy on a little girl's face
  and not wonder if she's hiding pain from being raped.
  Or shake the hand of a business man and wonder where
  his morality stands.

I write courage

  for the broken and the helpless,
  so they can carry on.
  It's easy to say "it's just a phase"
  when you don't know what's going on.

I write redemption
 
  with clean hands and honesty in my words.
  [O' this beautiful rescue]
  I came to this place to grab you by the hand,
  you were falling.

And I picked you up
and dusted you off
and we walked along this new path...

and it was beautiful.

      Yea I know about the TWLOHA Day. I actually have "LOVE" written on my arm as we speak

      That may have something to do with it. The beginning started to pop into my head and so I started to write it down before I lost my inspiration.
