Luminous Poem by Jennifer Batch

Overcome with grief and sadness lay she
Stretched out upon the newborn grass of spring
As the luminous rays of the sun
Land upon her tear streaked face
She looks upward soaking in the warmth
And as her soul begins to rejoice
She is struck with the notion
Though she may be but a small speck
Walking a lonely path in a vast universe
There is always hope for a brighter tomorrow
Hope for a love that will spark something wondrous
Hope for a world filled with laughter and joy
She prays that her tears not be shed in vain
That where they fall a spring flower might bloom
And with faith holds her head high
Looking into the vast blue sky
Knowing her future might quite possibly be
As bright as the luminous rays of the sun
For with a bit of faith and hope
Who is to say what one's world could become
