HOPE

HOPE


When all is gone and days are bleak and dark,
When everything one touches turns to dust;
When vacuum is what pervades the mind
And when the body shows the signs of rust;

When none is there to lend a helping hand,
When life’s forever sliding down a slope;
When one has been forsaken by the world,
It’s then that faith in Him provides the hope.
