It’s raining young people off roofs
Suicide epidemic—the numbers are proof
A single gun shot aimed at the head
Appearing well but next day, dead
***

Don’t take it for granted you’ll see the signs
Till you read another tragedy in the headlines
Don’t judge by what you see on the outside
It’s not always a testimony of the turmoil inside

Life may be hard even when they make it seem easy
Smiling through tears, living life like it’s breezy
Emitting the brightest light while absorbing life’s darkest
Till it’s too much and they give up, do the hardest

You don’t know what someone may be going through
Laughing through pain, hiding feelings of blue
Be a kind human, mind the words you say
That word may be the one to save a life today

This is deep and creatively conveys a lot of the sentiment that is being expressed in our world recently. The devil is a sly old fox and such a liar! People really need the love of Jesus, expressed through the church. ❤️💖💗🙏🏾

People’s hearts are failing from fear and the result is this pandemic of canceling their lives. I couldn’t agree with you more —we, the church, must do more to show that Jesus loves and care.
