And The Lion Shall Lie Down With The Lamb

Divorce is a sadness of the heart.
A child is frightened by the mystery of dreams
That come from a world so rich and surreal…
So far away and so close.
Their shadows distance courage far from the little heart.
Divorce takes the brightness away from tomorrow.
A child is alive with the imaginations of the mind,
Which flash and dance mocking mere reality…
So far away and so close.
They snuggle warmly into the safe spot of the heart.
Divorce places the innocence of youth in tears.
A child’s innocence is the source of all the world’s tears.
They come and go without warning and never stay very long…
So far away and so close.
They bring life worth the waking to youth’s growing heart.
Divorce takes the sweetness from the water I taste.
A child gives sweetness to the lives of waste.
All the sadness…
All the darkness…
All the brokenness… mended by the child of grace.
