Hope’s Lullaby

To you I present my hands,

hands to hold you when you tear,

hands to fight for you when their armies come

and hands to carry you when you fall.

To you I extend my hands

hands for comfort

hands for shelter when the storms arrive,

and hands to cover your ears when they talk.

To you I recommend my hands,

hands to applaud your achievements,

hands to show you the way

and hands to pray for your successes.

To you I proffer my hands,

hands to rock you while I sing your lullaby,

to keep you safe while you sleep

and to show you that of all the beautiful angels heaven has made,

you were created to be their example.
