Just a reminder: to hope, despite everything else. Hope is that scrap of wood that we hold on to, amidst a sinking ship and turbulent seas. Hope saves lives every single day. It could mean a world of difference to someone struggling to get through everyday. So, have hope, spread hope and discuss hope 💚 Pay it forward, people!
I cry
With nostalgia
With vexation
With barely repressed
Frustration.
I cry
For the loss
For all the never will be(s)
For my utterly lacking
Current should be(s).
I pray
To Her
To guide and protect
To save my wretched being
From fading into nothing.
I pray
For us
For peace
For there to be joy,
And beauty.
I wish
To grow
To help
To be kind
In thoughts and deeds.
I wish
For goodness
For courage
For the heart
That breaks but also heals.
I hope
To wonder
To wander
To dream
Of a world with favour.
I hope
With my soul and spirit
With my strength of will
With all of my stubborn heart
That we shall survive,
And thrive
In the thrills of life.
