Poems by Matthias Pantaleon : 30 / 83
IF IT'S WITHIN MY REACH
If it's within my reach
I will wipe tears in every heart
A light in their eyes
Shelter to the homeless;
A roof in rainy night
Affection to the afflicted;
Smile to the broken spirit
Son to childless families;
Laughter in their lungs
Comforter of the widows;
Nightingale to soften their sleep
A shoulder to the weak;
Like lion in zion
Hope to the despair;
A light in their tunnel
Dead to erase;
Pain to ease,
Dark cloud to sunny sky,
And certainly,
Chaos to peace!
