I know it is hard not to be discouraged by what we see,
but remember, the darkest hour is just before the dawn.
Only love will see us through these though times.
I had planned to post a poem entitled Only Love,
but due to computer problems, I am posting this poem.
A Change is in the Wind
A change is in the wind.
I know it is comings,
I just don’t know when
Talking drums beat a message of hope
over land and sea,
Hope for those living in abject poverty
A change is in the wind.
I know it is coming I just don’t know when
There will be a renewing rain
Washing hills and plains.
There will be an end to suffering and pain.
Nothing will be the same.
There will be economical gain
For a people who have lived under.
Unbearable strain.
Hold on.
A change is going to come.
No more dying little ones,
No more sickness and disease,
This will be a wind that frees.
All chains will be released
There will be an outpouring of peace.
My sisters and brothers,
Believe me when I say a change is coming.
I know it is coming.
Because talking drums are speaking
A message of hope over land and sea
No more burdens be.
They say it is time for you to drink
From the cup of mercy
So you can be free.
Hold on.
Hold on
To God’s amazing grace.
In time, you will be in a better place.
I know,
Yes, I know
A change is in the wind.
I know it’s coming;
I just don’t know when.
