 Searching for Hope
Loosing my mind to daily life
Not knowing just where to turn
Having the strength to wake up each day
What is it that I still need to learn

I thought I had done everything I needed to do
Been all that I felt was required
Believed and had faith in all that I did
Let pass me the things I desired

Yet still here I sit not knowing the way
Wondering how life came to this
Thinking back on the lessons that came my way
Is there something important I missed

They claimed that there was peace here in a world filled with light
They said I would feel it with great ease
But how can there be such beauty and grace
In a world that is so badly diseased

As a child you look to a future with hope
A future where dreams can come true
But no one tells you that a future so bright
Is there for not the many but the few

Trying desperately to hold onto a bit of that faith
Grabbing at every string I can find
Trying to still believe in that one bit of hope
That one day I will leave all despair behind

Heather L. Gibson April 2008
