Speak for the Voiceless

 

There are some. The voiceless.

There are some. Weary and numb.

There are some. Invisible and quiet.

 

There are some. Not able to speak.

There are some. Who cover their pain.

There are some. Who say, “This is the way it is.”

 

Come and seek. Look and take and encourage.

Come and seek. Advocate for fairness.

Come and seek. Lift and make clear a message quiet and sincere.  

 

For there is persecution.

For there is pain dismissed.

For there is prejudice and protest.

 

Here we stand… together.

Everyone has the right to speak.

Not just on International Women’s Day.  

Proverbs 31:8 (NLT)

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed."

 

 

 

COVID 19 Rains

 COVID 19 Rains

Why do you threaten us so? Why must we hide from each other? Why does ours and other's physical health take priority? 

Friends when and how and can we meet again? Friends how best can I care for you? Friends will we forget one another?

Work when will requirements stop fluctuating? Work why do you have to be so dreadfully daunting? Work I understand that I am obligated to go to you, but sometimes, I really don't want to, who does?

Family how do we show our love? Family grief is so much more complex, isn't it? Family who am I allowed to hug?

Flooding questions, information to remember and process, and concerns keep coming in. Flooding feelings for others and our own on top of those. Flooding COVID 19 on all of us. 

Downpour on all... don't forget your umbrella and take a spare for a friend or two. As we walk through all this together…  

'My times are in your hands, Lord.' Psalm 31:15
