Hope

Of long ago was deep sorrow Hardship, grief and pain Though bear in mind humankind Felt sunshine after rain. For bitter-sweet is our anguish When struggling to cope For intertwined props peace of mind Sustaining us with hope. We wish that things were different To better circumstance And long for happiness With a dream of chance. Desires they are endless Oft triggered from despair If we never suffered Would we even care? To endure all that's been then rise again with force Through all the strife in our life Balanced by sheer source... Hope.
