Secret

    A secret wish unspoken of. Foolish hope with no end.

Nothing to come of it, surely, no hope truly. 

A secret guarded from all but one, the most trusted and true, 

one who cares enough to listen, and who would never betray.

One who gives hope where there should be none, and lifts up above

the turmoil of all these things to show a way.

       The wish, seeming so foolish is given new light, 

and a new hope dawns. A new smile spreads, and a new vigil begins...
