Hope in the Dark
Hope that is seen is not hope at all,
For who hopes for what he has?
Love has been taken, all hope is lost,
In the darkness left to stand.
Fear surrounds me, doubts engulf,
Despair my constant friend.
The battle rages, alone with the dark,
When will this suffering end?
Behold, a Light is peeking through,
One acquainted with the dark.
He’s been there. He’s felt it.
He has experienced the hurt.
Amidst my deepest sorrow,
Soaked in endless tears,
Weary from the weight of suffering,
He has always been near.
He took the blow that darkness threw.
He met death face to face.
He went the road alone, He knew
I’d be traveling it one day.
He’s been there. He’s done it,
Traversed the waters of the deep.
He’s beckoning from the other side,
“Come ye weary.”
Though the darkness meant for evil,
Though the thief stole my heart,
I know the Light is ever present,
So I will hope in the dark.
