Hope

As I travel through the tumultuous sea of life, When turned and tossed by the tides of strife, When breakers rise and pounce to threaten me, Hope descends on me as a beacon to make me free. It appears before me as an anchor, holding me steady, Thus, to navigate through the rough waves, I get ready. Hope is a flame of light in the darkest night, That sieves through the gloom as a flicker bright. It lifts me up raising my spirits when I feel low, And helps me overcome my pinching woe. It is like a lullaby lulling my pain and putting me to sleep, As a child when listening to the song forgets to weep. With hope as my true and unwavering guide, I shall sail to destinations far where my dreams reside. Hope is the voice within me, whispering not to give up, Even in dire situations when things may break up

Hope is a flame of light in the darkest night-well said Valsa. Life would be hard to bear without hope--a voice within that whispers--as you say.
