Restoration Poem by Richard Betts

When the night refuses to relinquish the dawn,
Your love inspires me and makes me strong.

When heaven's breathe has turned harsh and cold,
Your love wraps me up and warms my soul.

When life's journey makes me weary and frail,
Your love encourages my spirit until I cannot fail.

When my fragile heart feels empty and old,
Your love allays my fears and makes me whole.

When I crave love and attention,
You offer your love with gentle affection.

When my desire is solace and peace,
Your love cradles me in comfort and relief.

When the clouds of uncertainty swirl around,
Your love braves the storms until I'm found.

When sorrow soaks me with its rains,
Your love caresses me and soothes the pains.

When I feel lost and utterly alone,
Your love restores me and guides me home.
