The Way to Hope

(Beth DeSombre)

There is a time for making distinctions
There is a time to draw the line
There is a time for silent refusal
This is not that time

This is a time for talking
This time when we don’t judge
When we discover the yearnings that bind us
This is a time for love
This is a time for love

There is a place for taking positions
There is a place to hold debates
There is a place for building defenses
This is not that place

This is a place for praying
This place where fear retreats
Where we commit to look out for each other
This is a place for peace
This is a place for peace

There is a way to grieve for our losses
There is a way to feel dismay
There is a way to lose our momentum
This is not that way

This is the way we gather
This way that passion flows
Only together can we move forward
This is the way to hope
This is the way to hope
