Hope is a bridge between love and despair,

A shining beacon of light is found there.

Joy is a bridge between living and death,

A way to cope with all of life’s heft.

Peace is a bridge between understanding and hate,

A better place for those who disagree to wait.

With every up there’s a down, every smile a frown,

But we can treasure those silver linings, wear them like a crown.

A light against the dark.
