Comfort Comes

Lay within me little one
lay within me quiet
for there outside shall come
a time of unjust riot

be with me o my child
come and stay by my side
I shall help you all along
so your song shall ring wide

o the years that no one knows
o the years of quiet
o so few that you were here
before the time of riot

no one knew the quiet grace
e'en though they saw your face
but your love was interlaced
e'en though they cried…

no one saw the wisdom'd words
no one said they e'en heard
no one pledged when the cock did crow
no one then was "in the know"

o my child, on cross you bore
today's child has been born
they think they're lost for evermore
so you have yet one more chore…

find the child to whom time is lost
tell them, you, the cost of cross
let them know in you they live
and let them know your Dad forgives…

***

if you know someone who should read this, please, pass it on…
