"HOPES AFLOAT; THEY ALWAYS SURFACE"
I won’t promise you
that it won’t rain all the time
but we know it’s true
‘though it takes a while.
It feels like forever
an ongoing flood of despair,
despite your fervent prayers,
wondering if God really cares.
Hopes afloat.
They always surface.
Stay on board.
Don’t drown yourself.
The journey’s still on;
no epilogue yet.
Leave the beasts behind.
You’ll find a better fate ahead.
Have faith.
Keep it.
Hang on to good friends.
May they help to ease your pain.
For what you deserve
shall come as nature takes its course...
