Or the unuttered roar of love
       Changing lives
Driven by the whisper of hope
       Leading on life.

But maybe, just maybe
It lives in the young man’s smile
Or the bright girl’s faith
Or the young child’s searching arms
       Speaking of joy in the awakening dream
A joy in all that is, seen
                          and unseen.
