A SPECIAL HAND… poem

 

IT TAKES A SPECIAL HAND
TO BRING BEAUTY INTO LIFE.
IT TAKES A SPECIAL HAND
TO BRING JOY OUT OF STRIFE.
IT TAKES A SPECIAL HAND
TO BRING A BRIGHTER HOPE FOR TOMORROW,
TO SHOW HAPPINESS THROUGH SORROW.
IT TAKES A SPECIAL HAND
TO BRING A SMILE OUT OF TEARS,
TO RELIEVE OUR FEARS.
IT TAKES A SPECIAL HAND
TO SHOW US LOVE,
TO GIVE US PEACE FROM ABOVE.
IT TAKES A SPECIAL HAND
TO SAVE US FROM HARM,
TO KEEP US FROM ALARM.
IT TAKES A SPECIAL HAND
TO KEEP US RIGHT,
TO KEEP US FOLLOWING THE LIGHT.
IT TAKES A SPECIAL HAND
TO KEEP US ON THE RIGHT TRACK,
TO SEND JESUS TO BRING US BACK.
IT TAKES A SPECIAL HAND
TO LOVE US ENOUGH TO CARE,
TO JUDGE US FAIR.
IT TAKES A SPECIAL HAND
THAT SPECIAL HAND BELONGS TO GOD.
