Hope by Paul Knoll

May 18, 2016 by To Live For

HOPE

I feel all alone
Cold to my hollow bone
Nourishment depleted
Energy to search abated
Family deserted long ago
Soul searching to and fro
Hope, where are you?
Love, and you, too?

Bird Photo by Anne Knoll

Ah, the story is not all told
Emerging from the stark cold
Nature brings me what I need
Many majestic gifts, indeed
While my faith began to wane
She was with me, my cane
Thank you for not giving up on me
For helping my heart to always see.
