Hope

Hope

There is always hope
Well so they say
One shouldn’t despair
Reach out don’t hold back
Keep on trying
Don’t surrender
Bailing out is not an option
Have confidence
Although the darkness
Is so overpowering
There is hope
You care too much
Simply to let go
So pursue you must
All you have and more
It may not be what you anticipate
But you have to endure
Others may dissuade 
Just don’t get confused
Trust in what is right
Beyond all the anguish
Faith hope and love
Will lead you on
Until the very end
Be bold be strong
Be true, Be YOU
