There Was Always Hope

Today I have made a choice at last

Choosing to become complete

I will take the moments in my past

That may be sad or oh so sweet

And knit them to my heart today

With the golden strands of life

And starlight from the Milky Way

Keeping joy to guard against the strife

I faced my hardships and trials

Walking the darkness of the scary night

Following the wrong paths of denials

Yet always coming back into the light

Many times it was so tiring just to cope

But knowing in the end I would be okay

My dream knew there was always hope

And, Father God, to show me the way.
