No Love No Hope Poem by Jodie Hall

All I know and all I love
All good things sent from The Lord above
All I have and all I need
Someone who's here
They've rescued me
Love is there and it is real
It was a feeling I could not feel
Now it's strong and it is right
This love is what helps me sleep at night
I love to live though I live in pain
The ones I love gave me life again
I may not be strong and may not be bendy
But god knows my heart ain't empty
I can shout and I can be mean, I am not no beauty queen
But I am safe and I am loved
So my pain is faint beneath my blood
