Life can be so hard that at times its hard to speak

You search for beauty but it’s hard to see through the pique

And you know, I really don’t want to seem over eager

Because I know life comes hard and fast; sometimes meager

But there it is, a beautiful world, wherever you turn

Oh sure, sometimes it seems like a blur and maybe a slow burn

But look around and I’m sure if you only give it a chance

You will maybe find a lot of beauty and maybe a little romance

It is all about the not so subtle need of making vital choices

Lifting hands in prayer and listening to all the right voices

If you only give yourself that chance in each moment

There’s no telling what hopefulness might just foment

Maybe a meager little bit of sought for sanctuary

Believe me that I get that reaching peace is more than necessary
