When hope has left
The day is long
Scattered sunlight
A cruel sun
When hope has vanished
Like littering snow
Melted gone
Winters glow.
When hope has departed
Unanswered prayers
Delivered upon knees
At Heavens stairs
When hope has died
A departed friend
Life is cold
Legs to bend
When hope disappears
Pounding brain
Like water slipping
Down a drain.
