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
