As I Walk Empty Handed

"The hardest days of ones life,

are the days spent empty handed."

- Josh Leadbetter

As I walk empty handed

through dark and scary places,

I am reminded of better times

with kind and caring faces.

They are crisp in my mind

and filled with joyful glee,

I think of them everyday

while a smile comes over me.

But as I walk empty handed

certain things are clear.

Those heavenly times are lost,

and might not ever reappear.

Yet down this road I shall walk

and pray in as many ways,

that keeping my hand held open

will lead to loving hand held days.
