Hope Abides

Hope Abides

Memory sits upon my shoulders,
Broken Time, endlessly Spinning,
Wordless Pain from yesterday,
Devouring Tomorrow, Progressively Winning
Though I Hide my Face from sorrow,
Aching in my Heart for More,
Bright yesterday belies my Smile,
As I walk upon a Barren Shore.

Hope Waits before me, Gently Smiling,
A Vision of Light in the Vast Unknown,
While all around the Darkness reaches,
Out of the Shadows, Hope hears my Groan,
Singing to my aching Sorrow,
Hope Willingly, Patiently, Abides,
A Light to Brighten the Uncertain Morrow,
Glowing in the Dimness where my Doubt Resides.

  1. And as I read your beautiful, yet somewhat sad poem I was thinking how could I make my sister smile;
    When the Sun arises in the morning,
    A sweet blessing shall find its way,
    Into your life making your heart to smile,
    In so many awesomely beautiful ways.

    For just as you share your heart with us,
    In such a true and generous way,
    Know as the morning comes alive,
    The smile from your words will always stay.

    Morgan your words are always beautiful and a treasure. They bring smiles alive each day, so I wanted to send something to you tonight as I read yours so you will feel the smiles your words always bring to stay. Have a lovely day tomorrow my sister…God bless!

    1. Thank You Rajiv ๐Ÿ™‚ I was feeling a bit low when I wrote this, but, being me, I never like to leave things hanging in darkness, so I wrote the second verse to bring it back to the light ๐Ÿ˜‰
