Loves Soft Light

I saw someone I love get told they were bad

Watched the light in their eyes turn sad

My heart rose up like a storming sea

Wanting to fight for what’s right to me

Anger burned, but I stopped to see

That flame said more about me

To witness pain cuts deep inside

And the helpless child in me cried

So I sit and breathe before I move

I can’t open eyes shut tight

I pray for peace, I pray for grace

And rest in love’s soft light

One blames the other, the story’s tight

Each convinced that they are right

I want to mend what they tore apart

But that’s not the work of my heart

Frustration came, then sorrow’s tide

I wanted the world to be unified

But peace begins where control must end

Where I hold my fear and call it friend

So I sit and breathe before I move

I can’t open eyes shut tight

I pray for peace, I pray for grace

And rest in love’s soft light

I listen close to the child within

Scared no one will hear her cry

I hold her hand, we bow and pray

And love’s quiet voice lights the way

So I sit and breathe, my heart made new

No fight left here tonight

I rest in peace, I rest in grace

And trust in love’s soft light
