Hope

How simple a word it is

Yet the magnitude it has 

Like a warm blanket that shields you from the world

Or the love from a mother’s caring embrace 

When the days grow old and weary 

And your feet become coarse from walking

Everything feels like a endless nightmare 

And the scene is bleak and dry 

And after walking past mountains 

And you yearn for the destination to arrive 

And you look up suddenly 

To see the sun arise from the clouds from behind the mountains 

And illuminate the world

As the rain tinkles as it gently falls down

Washing away the sins, the grime and time 

A new chance 

To start afresh

The rays of dawn that cuts through the dark canopy of night 

And I wonder 

I did not go wrong anywhere

Why must I feel so down 

When there is nothing to feel sad for

This is one life

I came here for a purpose

And it’s okay for humans to err 

Because humans are made of imperfections 

But there is beauty in mistakes 

It might be dangerous

But I will dare to play with fire 

Because you never know unless you never try 

And I will hope.
