Choosing The Light

Life littered with litres of distress and stress.
Uncertainties certain to terminate happiness in our nest

But we chose hope

Darkness lingering over our lingerie in secrecy
Hurts dished out in hot tempers 

Yet we chose hope

Subjected to torture rather than nurture as though we're objects.
Wrongfully wronged in places where the rights of the people should matter.

Still, we chose hope

There wouldn't be the need to be the light of the world if the world is full of light.

Whatever life throws at us
Our light will never go dim
We'll hold on to the thoughts and voice of hope in cloudy days.

We choose hope.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
