What Happens…?

Perhaps you know…
What happens to the tide, when waves erode the sand?
What happens to light, when darkness covers the land?
What happens to sound, when the tree ceases to fall?
What happens to the wind, when it blows against a wall?

But do you know…
What happens to faith, when truth’s no longer found?
What happens to hope, when the body is in the ground?
What happens to charity, when greed corrupts the will?
What happens to hunger, when in time you’ve had your fill?
What happens to ambition, when all desire is lost?
What happens to sorrow, when tears turn to frost?
What happens to grief, when feelings no longer come?
What happens to pain, when the drugs begin to numb?
What happens to hate, when your enemy is in retreat?
What happens to love, when the wound was cut too deep?
What happens to the spirit when, life’s no longer complete?
What happens to our thoughts, when the heart ceases to beat?
