Hope Returns
Hope lost
What a cost
Too much pain
Am I sane
Is there a way out
Alcohol sought
A temporary solution
To numb the confusion
Another hangover
Will this last forever
Then a small glimmer
Something inside starts to simmer
Could it be lost hope
Like opening an envelope
It's contents a hand written letter
Words assuring that I will get better
A return address on the corner
A name once quite familiar
That one gone long ago
There wanting me back to help me grow
Amazing grace shown by You, Father
Hope emerges, a divine encounter
