A Beacon of Hope
Wintercoat Nov 2018
It only takes a few seconds to hurt
For the years it takes to heal
Many of us know what it’s like
To be unsure of what to feel

When you feel like giving up
Like there’s nothing you could do
I hold out my hand
And stand beside you

There is an ever growing light inside of me
A ball of happiness, waiting to be shared
I want to protect those who feel hopeless
helpless, and filled with despair

Just as the tranquil tides reach the ocean shore
Just as the sunlight relinquishes the darkness more and more
Just as the dreamers hope for all animosity to end
Never forget you are loved, this message I aspire to send

If you are ever feeling lost or drifting off too far
There will be always a lighthouse to remind you where you are
It may not be from a loved one, but one thing I can guarantee
There is a stranger that believes in you, and that stranger is me

— The End —
