Hope

Hope sat beside me, she took me by the hand, 
She whispered her encouragement then wrote love in the sand.
Despair came inching closer, all ready for the fight, 
But love who stood right next to me 
Stood tall in all her might 

Despair came barging in one day 
It was the month of May
She was so uninvited 
She thought she’d have a say

But Hope had lived a long long life 
She was with me entwined 
She’d wrestle all calamities 
And leave them all behind.
