Hope Rests On Distant Fairest Hill

Hope Rests On Distant Fairest Hill


Can not write about lost hope just now
 when cheer meets me with morning sun
Rays of applause force me to take a bow
 stiffen my resolve and not dare to run
What of the coming night screams made
 or heart's pain from an untimely death
Have given all, nothing left to trade
 as solemn grief demands my last breath

Nay! Hope rests on distant fairest hill
 celebration just waiting for my life
Testament to sacred faith and hope's will
 no cuts from this overused broken knife
Spirit awaits another gift Heaven sent
 medicine for the sad and wailing heart
All earthly treasures given but not spent
 new life granted for this blessed start

One Hope, cast into the hot molding flames
 fire created to burn away eating pain
All love and joys arriving with new names
 rebirth of the Soul from the dark stain
