Hope Poem by Michael Keenan

Your passing was so hard to take
I felt I had been cast away
In a sea of despair and uncertainty
Not knowing night from day.

The waves of time were very rough
I knew not what my was my destiny
I was tossed around just like a cork
Not knowing who was there for me.

I floated on without a course
Not finding harbour or bay
I battled against the elements
Looking for hope to come my way.

Although in pain, my mind was clear
This situation could not me destroy
The raging sea now reduced to a ripple
I realised life could still hold joy.

It suddenly dawned not a moment too soon
That life must now move on
The sea was calmer the picture clear
Much of my pain and fear had gone.

So serene, I see you still
Much hurt now I do not feel
Whenever I remember the raging seas
I thank God that they were not real.
