Sunlight and Shadows


Hope

Hope cries like the bird at night

Starting to sing before dawn

Fighting the dark’s chains of doubt

Finding a limb to cling upon

Undoubting the fact of light

Even when the last star is gone

Hope fights like the ship at sea

Rowing just as hard as they can

Unwilling to admit defeat

Despite the great dark ocean span

Fixing on the beam of light

That promises there is still land

Hope stands like the flower strong

Beaten down by the pouring rain

Seeing through the endless storm’s

Driving torrents and crushing pain

Still holding its head up high

With faith the sun will shine again
