Will you look at her Dusty face, rusty nails missing teeth, missing sock. Please, will you look at her? Tears of pain roll down her swollen face. She sits in that puddle of mud, fear in her eyes. Please, will you look at her? Not asking to live with you, nor suggesting dinner at Toa’s— all she needs is the need for you to be there. Not asking you to wash her clothes. Nor asking you to help her move out of state.
Hardship it’s so painful how can i endure this pain i know you’re teaching me how to walk i long to learn how to lift my feet yet this is hardship hardship because You love me there is long suffering the world’s gonna think i’m lost it hurts too much to let go but i want to learn this is hardship
Please, will you look at her?
hardship because You love me
She needs reassurance
it’s hard to say goodbye
that she’ll live tomorrow—
thought it was for the strong
wants to be assured that she’s a woman,
i for one do not possess the gift of goodbyes
that her beauty is outstanding.
now it’s my turn this is hardship
Please, will you look at her?
hardship because You love me
Tell her tonight
the road is foggy
she’s a ray of sunlight,
i keep tripping on these rocks
wipe her tears and
my toes are sore
hold her hand real tight.
yet with sore feet
Tell her she’s God’s pearl.
i’m walking this dusty road this is hardship
Please, will you look at her?
Yevereh Et Elohim
hardship because You love me
Yevereh Et Elohim
