Hope

Night creeps up
   a dark, foreboding cloud
      darkening the world in which we live.
Some would fear,
   but for the hope that a brighter day
       comes.

Hope is something necessary,
   without it, everything is dark
and pain seems never ending
Hope is the balance
Between knowledge and faith
     giving light to us
         shining on the unknown.
            finding the stepping stones ahead
               so we don't fall in murky water.

Keep hoping. Keep believing
One day
    all will be better
         light will prevail.
Keep hoping that you
     will one day be safe
        in someone's arms.

Keep hoping.
