If They Could Talk

If these walls

Could talk

They’d tell

Of great joy

And great heartbreak.

They’d echo

Laughter and tears.

If these walls

Could talk

It would echo

Generations of

Prayers

Through the walls

Of both strong

And broken

Faith.

If these walls

Could talk

They would

Tell of those

Who hit

Their knees

In hurt and

Heartbreak.

If these walls

Could talk

They would

Echo a thousand

Stories of faith.
