Spark of Hope

I read a poem the other day

Remembering clearly, their say

It touched my heart

When you walk down that dark desert highway

And feel that no one seems to care

When your world seems to fold

And no one seems to hold

The answer

Despair comes in many forms

Some not in the usual norms

When you can't see the light

When you actually lose sight

And in your vision you seem to lack

When you paint the whole world black

Their is a spark of hope

That can circle your heart

To give you a new start

A life that was meant to give

A life meant to live

May faith, hope and love

Lift your spirit up above

Out of the depth of despair

To become a person who will learn to care

Because the whole world needs you out there.
