Beacons of hope
There are people who are beacons of hope,
Who keep bitterness at bay,
Despite all that comes their way,
Each and every day.
Of course they feel anger,
Despair, sadness, and loneliness,
And want to scream out loud,
But bitterness they keep at bay,
Each and every day.
Kindness they somehow keep,
Each and every day,
Not letting bitterness creep,
Into their day,
No matter how bad the state of play,
And that is why they are a beacon of hope,
In a world that gives bitterness too much scope,
To creep into the day and make it hard for most to cope,
Without kindness to point the way,
To making it through the day.
