Her Heart Aches
But she must not wallow
The world needs her right away
War and hunger, unequal justice
Natural disasters
There is much to be done today
Her eyes cry
But she must not lose focus
The world needs her to wrap her in
Kindness, compassion
Love and caring
So many things to be done today
Her soul bleeds
But she must not live there
The world needs her to share her gifts
Her unique essence
Healing, teaching
For a bright future she must start today
Her hands are tied
But she must unravel
The world needs her to do her work
It takes great courage
And great conviction
But she must find a better way
Her love is stifled
But she must envelop
The world needs warm-heartedness
She cannot wait
She must just try it
Her heart is needed so much today
Her voice is muffled
She must release it
Her words be spoken
Her tales to tell
For there is someone
Who will be waiting
To hear her story, to save their day
Her stomach turning
Her fear revealing
The world is waiting, the time is now
Each step a journey
Solutions finding
With deep conviction, shine bright today
So gather Courage
Commit yourself to
Doing what your heart desires
Be open, giving
Keep moving forward
Take baby steps
Along the way
