I cannot see it
But I am taking it with me
It travels well
Lasts forever
I’m hanging onto hope
Not letting it go
Even though
Hope stealers
Stand on every corner
In my mind
“Just give up!”
“You’ll never make it.”
“Life is too hard.”
No
I am not listening
Pushing past
Because
I have done this before
And I know
Life and Light
Are just beyond
The corner of my pain
Hope packs well
Into my heart
Fits snuggly next to
Faith and Love
