Trying Times

"There is Hope"

Hard times happen, constantly...

expectedly or unexpectedly...

crack of dawn comes, and next is a dullness day,

That is inevitable, and that is life tend to be.

But truly living is full of possibilities,

Choices are offered to us for free,

many times, there's a lot of options.

and sometimes, just single disposition, 

that needs a heedful discretion.

Lamentation soaks you up,

troubles surge and seemingly endless.

bitterness is penetrating your spirit,

until you reach the threshold of losing heart.

The only option you think of, is to surrender...

When everything is emptied,

when your are about to give up

when you feel weak and helpless

is the time the Hope shows up!

Yes, there is always hope when you're feeling depressed.... sometimes life just deals you a bad hand...and it's frightening.... so when you get a chance at hope, take it and fly with it.
Nicely done!

Life can throw many difficulties our way. A lifeline of hope has saved many from sinking into despair. It takes guts not to give up. You just have to hope for that silver lining. We have choices, we can sink or swim. Nicely expressed.
