In the dark when all seems lost The spark of hope succumbed to frost We reach for something to hold on When we feel our dreams are gone Some cling to memories as they depart To glue the cracks within their heart Others turn to faith to guide the way When life seems to have gone astray Some look to materials to fill their soul Is there ever enough to feel whole? Food, jewels, art, cars, shoes By the next day, sadness renews When hope is gone, we all sink Our failures written in permanent ink Thinking of all that could’ve been- Or maybe the best strength is within Maybe life is full of bridges to cross Perhaps our hopes can’t really be lost And in our minds, tucked away deep Is the place where our dreams sleep Dreams don’t come true every day But that doesn’t mean they go away Maybe you don’t have to get it all right And that spark of hope will reignite
