Open your hands for all to see
your pain, your suffering, your loss-
it's all there in between the lines.
Why do you cover your face so?
Shame? Guilt? On the other hand,
is it lack of faith? Fear that your
life won't get any better-only worse.
Change it all-for nothing is completely
lost. Rebuild your life,
hold on to the very things you've
had-just didn't realize. Stop looking
beyond the horizon; instead, focus
on the hands in front of you.
