Behind all the stories
of grief, estrangement, alienation
separation and longing:
is a question of faith.

It affords you the ability
to massage your pain
to pour cold water over your anger
to paint a fairy tale on your regrets
to cloud your face with a big smile
when you are lonely
and losing everything that is near and dear
and you just want to scream and cry.

Yes! you can scream
Yes! you can cry.

It is a question of faith
it affords you the ability to see:

where there is grief
there is also relief
where there is sadness
there is also joy
where there is worry
there is also hope.

We each can become the instrument
through which grief is turn to relief

We each can become the instrument
through which sadness is turn to joy

We each can become the instrument
through which worry is turn to hope.

For this reason, each and everyday
someone will make someone else happy;

For this reason, each and everyday
someone will make someone else realise a dream;

For this reason, each and everyday
someone will make someone else's life easier.

And that someone is you.
And that someone is a family member.
And that someone is a friend.
And that someone is a cause.
And that someone is a community.
And that someone is a nation.

When all circumstances point to the contrary
we always can find the rationale
to give up ourselves so that others can be.

No matter how long it may take
with faith as a chain of hope
its flames burning in our hearts
that lost dream may be found.

That yearning emptiness may be fulfilled.
That elusive peace of mind will finally be yours.

And it will also be mine too.

Rene
