When up against the worse there is,
And no one understands.
The pain and heartache cannot be felt
Upon anothers hands.
Yet, when in such distress and fear
It opens inner strength.
The changes that we have to make
Is truly within God's hands.
Alone we stand to see the world
In all its seasons changing.
The comfort of a brand new day
Is hope and light we're yearning.
Life can be cruel, but also kind
And joy is always near.
New friends to meet, and paths to take
Embracing us so dear. By Keith Rylance
