Afflictions

Pain and hurt beyond the scale, hearts that linger cold and bare; Tendencies to grasp the chance, to seal our fate without a glance. We can't revive the soul's true will, by wandering off among the chill; Which clears emotions from the shelf, in frozen thoughts of nature's wealth. When we can't see what lies ahead, still humbled by our daily bread; We find a place where fiery stands, can take the horror from our hands. God bless the sad and lonely child, whose face reflects the meek and mild; When glorious spirits break the ties, those afflicted fade away and die.
