Masks of Necessity – v2

Grown child, where is your laughter?

Do you laugh, smile; do you cheer

in the song of the wind, the leap of the sun

the squeal of your little girl?

Seeing with her eyes the moments of life,

lost too often in adult ways

behind masks of necessity

our struggles, our pain.

Reckless abandon and

absolute, resolute mirth

There is joy for the taking

from the true vine.

There is salvation

there is a liberation

in Him for us all;

Grab hold for your life!
