An Ode On Hope Poem by Ayesha Jabbar

An Ode On Hope

Rating: 5.0


All that was is a distant dream
All fondness of memories drained

But in the heart is a gleam of truth
And in my eyes a glimmer of hope

All is not lost yet
For life has yet not come to an end

Sorrow indeed blocks the light today
But in this darkness lays concealed the path to light

With hope instilled, shall find the way
The gleeful soul, lest it refrain

For goes not in vain the efforts of a striving heart,
That tries to find a way to joy.

The will to live is but innate
A divine blessing that awaits discovery.
