I was on the precipice of losing it,
Letting it go forever,
Not a care about it would I have,
'Never will I ever have you again'...i reassured myself.
And I vowed to stick to my word,
The stickler for my words that I am,
2 days without it,
48 hours, 2880 minutes,
And I was sinking already,
Sliding fast, suffocating, drowning, dying…inside,
Without it I was just a shell,
and for a moment I thought
What the xxxx??
Hope is such a marvelous thing.
Why would I ever want to lose it?
It bends, it twists and it sometimes hides...
But rarely does it break.
It sustains us when nothing else can.
It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead,
When we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.
Hope puts a smile on our faces,
Even when the heart cannot manage to...
It puts our feet on the path,
Even when our eyes cannot see it...
It moves us to act,
Even when our souls are confused on the direction..
Hope is a wonderful thing,
Something to be cherished, nurtured,
Something that will always refresh us in return...
It can be found in each of us,
And it brings light into the darkest of places.
So never lose hope!
