A New Hope Poem by Dennis Fenton

Walking through the twilight of my life at times is sad
Thinking about the rough and tumble times I've had
The amount of time wasted on foolish dreams
That looks good at the start but never end up like it seams
I was taught to stay true to my heart through thick and thin
And by following that path more often than not I took it on the chin
Life's cruelty had me down and out hanging from the end of my last rope
Yet still I see a light in front of me portraying a flicker of hope
A new friend with a sweet smile and a kindness like none that I have known
Leading me from the abyss and the cold that had chilled my bones
How can I thank her for all that she has done?
Maybe all it will take is to show her she is number one!
