Raining Hope

I know you tired
I see the pain in your eyes
The regret weighing on your heart
The fear of the what could bes and an uncertain future clouds your mind
Your fractured smile hiding behind your tough exterior
But its okay, I know how you feel
Because I have that same pain I try to hide
but god gave the foresight to pierce beyond your tough exterior
and see your warm feelings within
My father in heaven gave me the power to pour out your pain onto this blood soaked pen and paper
that’s why I hope that my words will be powerful enough
to send away the dark days of sadness past,
and those cold lonely nights when you cried out for help,
but no one seems to answer.
But god is always there, listening and watching over you
That’s why he gave us free will to be a test.
But I see what he sees,
we weep…..
for those who sleep outside in cold,
For those who have lost themselves and sell their bodies for money,
for those who have lost someone important to them,
for those afflicted by their mind’s will,
and for those who have nowhere to go because their parents don’t want anything to do with them,
that’s why he made me to help him on earth
To save the world from its sorrows that’s why everything he’s done in my life from mama dying
and being diagnosed with Huntington’s and hiv
and to me graduating from culinary school
it was all a test to make me strong enough to take on your pain
and carry it for the world
the words from my poetry will rain down and quench your thirst for hope
