Hope
Though time flies away
as a bird without courage
and our strength slips away
as water, leaving only a trace
though something treacherous
attacks us on the inside
while words outside stab us
though we lose our loved ones
and life disappears so easily
though disheartening thoughts
choke us as a thick, poisonous fog
let us continue fearlessly
because a shining beacon
lights our way
and our armor is strong
because help and peace of mind
are available if we just ask
though we feel alone
if we reach out through the fog
our family is struggling alongside us
and the best friend we can acquire
is guiding us
as a path that does not swerve
a path that will lead to time
time free of tiresome trials
free of pain
time filled with faithful service
filled with happiness
time filled with teaching and healing
and days filled with weary time travelers
returning home
as death's hand is emptied
to time indefinite
