Hope

 

Tomorrow night

You will tell me.

God give me the strength

                To listen.

 

Tonight has hope

That I may not hear

Words of my fears

                Tomorrow.

 

Let me not sleep tonight

And savor thoughts of hope.

 

Tomorrow night

You will tell me

Of your decision

                Of anguish.

 

Tonight is all I have

To bathe my wounds in hope.

 

Tomorrow

I will start to walk

On that lonely road,

                Rejection,

 

Groping, stumbling,

Sadly onward

Till it turns into

                Acceptance.
