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
