Always Keep Hope Poem by Danny Speicher

To you who are hurt and crying at night
May your desire be to be healed
May your heart be safe, and like wax, be sealed
And may your blindness, once again be sight

To you who have been cut, wounded and torn
May those wounds be, again, restored to health
Whether you're healed in poverty or wealth
Whatever the mode, may you be reborn

Always remember to cherish your life
And care for your body, your mind, your soul
And be patient in reaching all your goals
Be resilient in wellness and in strife

Surround yourself with those who care for you
And may their abilities help to restore
All that made you who you were once before
Let your pride die as their kindness imbues

May you rest peacefully under the wings
Of divine love and trusting in God's grace
May His presence move through you in this place
And sleep easy with the release He brings

Look for His blessings each and every day
Examine events that might seem mundane
Beauty exists in that which appears plain
Look for moments to meditate and pray

And may you always keep hope in your heart
Though it may be oft difficult to do
Though it may not seem the logical view
Never fail to keep hope within your heart

Amen
