LEND ME YOUR HOPE

Lend me your hope for a while, I seem to have mislaid mine.
Lost and hopeless feelings accompany me daily, pain and confusion are my companions. I know not where to turn; looking ahead to future times does not bring forth images of renewed hope. I see troubled times, pain filled days, and more tragedy.
Lend me your hope for a while, I seem to have mislaid mine.
Hold my hand and hug me; listen to all my ramblings, recovery seems so far distant. The road to healing seems like a long and lonely one.
Lend me your hope for a while, I seem to have mislaid mine.
Stand by me, offer me your presence, your heart and your love. Acknowledge my pain, it is so real and ever present. I am overwhelmed with sad and conflicting thoughts.
Lend me your hope for a while;
a time will come when I will heal, and I will share my renewal, hope and love with others.
