HOPE.......a good start for everything i guess...

DRENCHED SHE STANDS
AGAINST THE COLD WINTER WINDS.
DRENCHED IN GRIEF AND DESPAIR-
THE MOON SHINES GLORIOUSLY,
AS NIGHT FALLS, STEALING
ALL HER DREAMS AGIAN.

SHE STANDS THERE,
STARING AT A FLICKERING CANDLE,
PONDERING OVER STRENGTH,
STRENGTH PUT UP BY THE WEAK LIGHT
AGAINST THE RUTHLESS WIND.
AND THERE, IT CROSSES HER MIND-

SHE STANDS THERE
NOW WITH "HOPE"
BESIDE A SEPULCHER OF MISERIES
THE HOPE, THE LIGHT WILL SUSTAIN THE WIND.
THE HOPE, THE SUN WILL COME AGAIN.
THE HOPE, SOON THERE WILL BE SPRING.

 SHE STANDS THERE
WITH A FAINT SMILE
FAINT, BUT STRONG
STRONG AS THE HOPE BUILT ALONG
THE FACADE OF MELANCHOLY, FOR LONG.
KNOWING, THINGS WILL HAVE A "NEW BEGINNING".
