69.I believe in Thee

O Hope ! Why did you rise in me?
Why did I long to be in your arms?
Look at me now....
Like a rudderless ship I sail,
I have to cross many oceans;
Tides rising within
Drown me,
Yet I know, I will ride
And cross all meadows,
Defeating challenges.
Defying Hopelessness,
I Promise myself.......
No more will such mistakes be made
No more will I cry out in pain.
Though My heart is crushed,
Almost lifeless
Yet I will survive,
And survive well.
Hope You cannot
Have the last laugh.
For I believe in Thee
And He will surely guide.
