In this cruel world there’s still hope
A light in the midst of darkness
Challenges we have but we can cope
Listen to the benefits of stillness
Try again, don’t throw the towel yet
A light in the midst of darkness
Hard work, tribulation, blood and sweat
The coverage of life is interesting and vast
Try again, don’t throw the towel yet
Sometimes we feel we can’t stop the crash
Even though there’s no way but to concede
The coverage of life is interesting and vast
We may win, lose, cry and even bleed
And we have to carry on with life
Even though there’s no way but to concede
Against all odds, faith and hope’s still rife
In this cruel world there’s still hope
And we have to carry on with life
Challenges we have but we can cope*

I love this poem, LL! It really says it all about facing obstacles and continuing forth with hope! A perfect quote from Shakespeare, too! Love your gallery of lights!
