Hope

Hope like a second Sun,
Fills you with divine light
When all is lost,
And keeps you afloat.

Hope is like a crutch
That you take,
When you are hurt
And helps you move about.

Hope lights up the dark
Spaces that fill your spirit,
When you are in despair
So let it stay,
And not come on a short visit.

Hope at times is all we have,
When the going gets tough
Pretend to be deaf
To those who say
You are living an illusion.
