But for Hope (It’s Not Over)

I will not pretend to understand much

But permit me to share this with you

It’s the uncertainties of life that make it beautiful

We may plan how we want our day to be

But guess what, it is the unplanned events that make up life

We do not have much of  a say in so many aspects of life

No matter our deep desire on how things should turn out

Sometimes things happen that make us question a lot

Some life events render us hopeless

We are confused about where to run to

We find ourselves on the ground trying to figure out how we can stand again

Stress and depression kick in, and we get devastated

But it is hope that should keep us going

When you are knocked down nine times, you should stand ten

And if it is not possible to stand, then crawling should do

By all means, we should not lose hope on the journey of life

The audacity of hope should make us see a better future

Remembering that it is darkest before dawn

That we have the strength to endure

That’s why we are still alive

And while other candles go off

The candle of hope should burn on

It should bring warmth to life

It should beautify the dark times

And make us see beyond

Beyond the adversities of life.

As long as we have hope, it’s not over.
