Hope is the Cure

I wish I’d said the sky was still blue

Even though you saw only clouds

To show you all life’s bright colours

That would’ve washed out your doubts

I wish I’d shared every rainbow

Every promise of anchored hope

Then maybe you would’ve endured

And found a better way to cope

I wish I’d shared a positive thought

For every negative thought you spewed

That would have cancelled them out

And not let your anger be chewed

I know if I had shared more hope

Then things could’ve been different

You wouldn’t have lost your will

If only I’d not been so ignorant

I wish I had known the poison within

That bound you captive and sad

If only you had seen life’s hope

Life wouldn’t have seemed so bad

For hope is the cure that you need

That gives you the strength to fly

No matter how rotten life can get

Hope helps us not to quit or cry
