Hope

Fear led the day the minute the hour 
              Savoring every void absorbing all the power
             Hope held me up above the drowning river
           Sopping drenched clothes unstoppable shiver
          Prayer for a higher power to give me strength
       When all else fails a safety rope of just enough length
          And an Angel of Mercy whom pulled me to shore
              God bless you God I could ask for no more. 
                                  Amen
