Hope Poem by Susan Cook

Each day passes and I miss you more
Each day passes and I love you more,
Each day passes and I wonder if what we share can withstand the distance, the time,
the separation and the loss.

Will we grow doubtful of our passion,
Will we hide in our own walls to protect ourselves from the pain,
Will we withstand the long winter.

In summer our love shone
Our love sparkled with every movement between us,
Our smiles joined our hearts through our eyes.

We face the autumn my love when things die,
We face the winter my love when things wait.
I wonder if we will follow the seasons
I wonder if we can withstand the cold.

Each day passes and winter comes close,
But each day passes and we come closer to spring.
And each day passes and my hope grows stronger that spring will bring a new life for us. x
