For Kaitlin

I wrote this poem for my friend Kaitlin, but I haven't been able to give it to her. I know she probably doesn't have internet access, but Kaitlin, if you do happen to find this, this one is for you.

Peace seeks out the humble soul
That, troubled, looks within
For fault, lurking, fading the strength
That once so fearless faced sin.

Joy distills but quietly
Like angels' whispered tones
To those who bear the pain to change
For His will, not their own.

Love extends to one and all
Who extend both hand and heart
To brothers and sisters who struggle yet
To accept His brand-new start.

Christ Jesus gives us all we need
Through His eternal grace,
Strength over sin, joy over pain,
Courage even with tear-stained face.
Love will out, Christ will win,
And we will see His face.
