Painting In The Woods Poem by Melissa Bange

HOPE, PEACE, FAITH, LOVE
We can never have enough

Tired of life getting me down
Looking lost was all I found
Everything around me gray
But I saw HOPE today

Walking down the street
Pavement kisses barefoot feet
Left with nothing to say
But I felt PEACE today

Didn't know where to begin
I knew I was full of sin
Somehow I was saved
I found FAITH today

I hugged my kids
And a goodbye kiss
Tomorrow will be a better day
But I held LOVE today

FEAR, GREED, DEBT, PAIN
How do we stop this game

Saw a man on the news
Kids dying from abuse
Never nothing good to say
Too much FEAR today

The whole world is going nuts
Politics are all corrupt
Every man wants to have his way
So much GREED today

No jobs equals no work
Is this a cosmic joke?
Too many bills we can't pay
Everyone is in DEBT today

Too much excess all around
We need to reach a common ground
There has to be a better way
There's too much PAIN today








My son, Jason, came up with the concept and title for this one. Thank you my little genius!
