Lingering in the darkness
once they were light
now dark as midnight
they bring only fright
their hearts once made of gold
broken from tragedies untold
where respect was once written
bitter words are stricken
so in the shadows they hide
from the pain they hide
quiet words are uttered
as if one whisper
would shatter
their soul
the one who speaks such fragile words
grants them hope once more
a new light unfolds
in a land of shadows light appears
the saddened
the grief stricken
the ones with tragedies untold
are illuminated
the shadows of darkness have lost their hold
their hope makes them once again bold
trust is fragile
so are soles
trust is earned by ones
with
kind words
bright hearts
a small amount of hope
can inspire others
to shoot for the stars
