Peace, Hope, Faith Poem by Tami Gee

Happiness to me denied
lost and drifting, search for I
what a loathsome lie.

Love promised and once fulfilled
no sooner found than is killed
hearts longing stilled.

Peace, once I knew its way
once grasped, it refused to stay
Not one more day.

Hope, that shining star ahead
pulled from my hand instead
Hope no more, it is dead.

Faith, what is left when there is no more
Faith knows not the future
for me in this lonely world.
