Hope Is

Hope is

July 31, 2010

You just rode away

On your black horse.

I sat in a chair with my hand

On my heart- that smiled-

Because touching your face

Holding your hand,

Wrapping myself around you

And hearing you say

“I love you with all that I am.”

Built something inside of me

That makes me stronger today

Than I was yesterday.

It shows me that God hears

My silent cries for help and

Proves that Hope is something

That we can see, and touch and smell.

Because when you arrived tonight,

You brought me my dreams.

And when you drove away,

They stayed with me- like a flower

Stays on the stem

Even when the wind is weeping

And the rain is screaming.
