Ripple Waves

3:49Lines curl round the mission gate Moms with strollers learn to wait The cupboards bare, the lights turned low But still the children's voices glow Empty pantries, full of echoes Of promises we used to know We break the bread, we share the hand Making more from what we can SNAP's delayed, the shelves run thin They say "next week," but no one wins Church bells ring with paper bags Hope wrapped tight in borrowed rags It ain't charity it's a chain When one goes hungry, we all feel the strain Empty pantries, full of echoes We make it work with what we know Still we gather, hand in hand Dreaming bigger than what we can We share the table, we share the pain Tomorrow's hope will rise again
