KERNEL OF HOPE

KERNEL OF HOPE

Under that hard shell of desperation

And broken promises of satisfaction

Moving on, even by only a fraction

Some soft flesh with a sweeter taste

With a hint of hope it may be laced

But in the kernel the answer’s found

Here, one can finally discover hope

And fall no further down that slope

A new strength with which to cope

To take on all doubts and then win

From this seed a new life can begin

And no longer hiding underground

Such a resolution might come late

The plan to emerge and germinate

Benefits are always worth the wait

Bursting forth with a steely resolve

Seeing the new capabilities evolve

Fully recovered and finally crowned
