[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => Things happen for a reason, Although we may not know what that reason is. Whether it is good or ill It happens as it is meant to happen. Even when it seems that it is not fair, It still comes about. In this short life we are thrown around Like a rag doll in the wind, Being shown things that we are never ready To witness, yet we take them and Learn to accept them, whether we want to Or not. It is all we can do to cope with the pain; To stay just high enough above the water to keep From drowning in our sea of emotional torment. Hope is the one idea that we never give up, Always holding on to it for dear life In the event that things will get better, But when it does not and the worst happens We begin to believe that it was all in vain. I tell you now: keeping hope is never in vain. It is what gives us a chance when there seems to be none. It is our light in the ever-present darkness that Creeps ever closer, surrounding us in its shroud of despair. To give up hope is to die. When we give up the one thing that keeps us alive and joyful We become an empty shell. We become the blackness that has surrounded us. We give up…we surrender. My solution is thus: hold onto it until there is nothing Left to hold, and then hold some more. Keep the faith; kindle the hope… For their sake, not yours.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
