If words of love could heal
I would speak tender affection
If touch could remove pain and suffering
I would take your hand in mine and raise it to my heart
If the scent of a flower could remove all fear
I would fill your home with flowers
If nature's beauty could take your eyes away from your troubles
I would bring you to the majestic mountains
If the taste of wine would let you taste the goodness of God
I would pour the sweetest wine into your soul
I, as a mere man, am powerless
So I pray to the only one
Who is able to heal
To remove pain and suffering
Whose perfect love casts out all fear
Who when you set your eyes on him
Will cause the troubles on earth to fade to insignificance
Who gives us the sacrament of wine
To reminds us of his goodness and love
To know that our souls are already healed
Author notes
Problems are too big for me, so they are given to the only one able to handle them.
