Living in a world that seems to hold no peace,
we search constantly for that bridge to cross.
When the bristles of lonliness prick our spirit,
we seek a path that says we are not yet lost.
You are there, you walk silently among us,
voicing the frustrations that threaten our serentity,
inciting spirituality that leads us from a release
of doubts to a love promised to us for infinity.
Taking a hand, you traverse souls through murky
waters to the shores of inspiration we pray to find.
Guided by your insurmountable faith,we begin
to clear the cobwebs of distrust from our mind
.
When towers of strength start to crumble upon
one's reserve, sprinkling about desperation's mist.
As the putrid desires of life's demons descend upon
our despair to grasp us in the confines of evil's fist,
you are there, you walk lovingly among us,
your invigorating essence inudating wounded hope,
whispering restoration into shaken faith that
devours the beliefs that alloted souls to cope.
Among us, you walk, upon crippled hearts you
supplant healing kisses, with wisdom to maintain.
Born you were to tread territories of disparity sheltering
the weak and disillusioned from purgatory's rain.
I hail your existence for the benevolence it has
bestowed upon a society that so needs restoration.
This day, the day you were graced to walk among us,
I devote myself to humbly honor His wondrous creation!
