Hope

I thought i saw a light far away, my eyes could be playing tricks,
As soon as i see can see it though, i know that things are fixed,
Returning from a deep dark place, the light will give me hope,
I thought i was lost to this dark place, it had me by the throat.

When feelings are trusted to someone, you know you are doing right,
When you know how the other is feeling, you start to lose the fight,
When love is the answer and hasn't been lost, it has been there underneath,
Return to your once great love recharged, and breathe a sigh of relief.

Do not expect the world for you, you've got to seize it for yourself,
For if you think things should be yours, it will only damage your health,
Not only will it make you more confident, you can learn things when you fall.
And trust in yourself for the future, you'll find you can conquer all.

Empower your kin with knowledge, and they will say what you have taught,
For when you hear them speaking truths, beyond their years you thought,
The words that you tell them stay with them, an experience advice implant,
I am now told through daily conversations, daddy there is no such word as "can't".

Life can be beautiful all around, if you know just where to look,
To help you take in all the sights, you may need the help of a good book,
There is plenty of darkness to be seen, if you are heading down that path,
But when you see the light at the end, then through it you will pass.
