Hope
What is the sun? without the rain?
Where is the life? after the slain?
How is there pleasure? without pain?
hardened through your dismal sights
drowned your sorrow in forgotten nights
When worlds twisted through and through
sun may rise become a new
hope must always hold to grip
even through darkness you may slip
even a sickly blackened heart of hate
can be turned and churned to seek a sake
do not take easy life to task
for good and bad may never last
instead endure the troubled road
and find you have the strength for so
for suffering is always meant to pass
to keep honey sweet, and lengths to laugh
the road is full of twist and turns
some may freeze, some may burn
some may torment, some may test
all take courage in every step...
