Kenneth R. Hardman

“Oh, God. Where are you?” Upon knees, with trembling hands streaked by tears, our desperate plea continues. “I’m in darkness. I know you were there, once—where did you go. I need you now more than ever?” Silence persists. “Life is so hard…And when I do my best it gets harder. Please, help me.” With a particle of hope remaining, “Touch my eyes, wipe my tears, help me see…help me, grow.” Listening patiently a thought penetrates the darkness, then another. A memory, a kind person, a light, a prompting, a touch of hope. And then a feeling—something familiar.”
