The thief

He comes

Unseen. Unexpected. Unwanted.

But he comes

And steels what is so precious

The heart and hopes and treasures.

When hope is gone

Where do we find it?

When the heart is broken

What can we do?

We beg and pray

For the thief to bring back

What we are deeply missing

But will he come?

He won't

So where do we find our hope?

In all our worries, fears and sorrows

Let's keep our eyes open

For Him who cares for our souls

Even if it is hard.
