If I held your hand and showed you my way,
Would you have the courage to place one foot in front of
the other?
If I told you that the fear of God and damnation is not what
motivates me to help heal the world,
Would you be curious to know my point of view or would
you label me \"ye of little faith\"?
If I whispered in your ear all the times I have picked up
pain with my bare hands to shield others from the strife,
Would you have the strength to listen without judgment?
I do not condemn your kindness,
or the words of faith that cross your lips,
for it holds the same effect,
The idea is the same
Feed the hungry
Be strong for the weak
Speak positivity into this world
To Enforce the good and reduce the evil
Holding out your hand to feel someone else\'s pain
Is not made more impressive
by the book, you tote in the other.
But isn\'t that the concept of the words that adorned its pages
This is not a competition
Yet more often than not
I am viewed as damned
Not due to character
Or impact
But because the books I read
and the words I believe were written by another man\'s hands.
