Hopes
“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.”
Tom Bodett
Tender hopes are fading fast
This pestilence will soon end
The outlook gloomy and bleak
Dim future the signs portend
Sad days whenever you lose
A loved one or a dear friend
Yes this menace merciless
To Hades many will descend
Dreaded scourge upon us all
How can us mortals contend
Without heav’nly engagement
That He will the angels send
Pray we must without ceasing
And promise our ways to mend
Bow our heads ask for mercy
Let our pray’rs to Him ascend
Give in to fear we shouldn’t
Tender hopes never suspend
Let not cares shape the future
With hopes may our days be spent
This dark tunnel may be long
But there’s bright lights at the end!
