Surrounded by heartaches
Each one has their own
At times, we retreat
Isolated and feeling alone
Too much on our minds
Absorbed in our own self pity
Not able to see beyond ourselves
To those within our city
So many without homes or jobs
No direction and not much hope
A look of fear filling their eyes
Not many able to cope
Let my eyes see with Your vision
Those who just need a hand
A smile, a friend, recognition
Compassion enough to stand
Everyone, at times, needs someone
To see with Your eyes the pain inside
Helping in one way or another
To bring healing for the pain to subside
That healing is You, can they see it?
I hope their hearts are able to receive
You’re the One who can fill the emptiness
To give them the peace they need
