Hope

That flame that burns so bright,
I'll carry inside my heart. 
I'd never let it go out you see, 
cause it's what most dear to me. 
I've had darkness all around, 
Pressing to surround. 
Perseverance brought me back to light. 
In this life I'll have many more fights, 
but so long as I have the light, 
I'll never doubt in my own might.
