Don't Give Up
We wait for what we long for,
we long for what we need.
Impatience and anxiety
give root to errant deed
that grows to yield but heartache,
the fruit that poisons trust,
and so to shadow we recede
as hope descends to dust.
But somehow from the ashes,
the will to try again
can mend the heart and forge the path
in search of that one friend,
who never will betray us,
no never go astray,
but fear still lurks upon the thought
while waiting for that day –
we’ll simply stumble once again,
for we know not who to trust,
so thoughts becomes our enemy
but conquer them we must,
for surely there is someone
whether ‘Shining Knight’ or ‘Bride’.
Then all will have been worth it…
our last hope justified.
