Life's new hope
The last gray candle fizzles out
The wax has melted to the ground
The voices quiet, no more shout
Fall's leaves on no tree to be found
The birds have stopped their singing song
The wind has died to nothingness
The light dies down with shadows long
The sun has set now in the west
All hope has ceased to exist
All friends lay down beneath the turf
Nobody around to be missed
The sea is calm now with no surf
The world is coming to an end
There seems no hope left; none at all
For I feel I have lost a friend
He is dead like leaves in fall
And when the end seem imminent
I see light shining far away
At this point it's just a hint
But then there comes a brand new day
And with the new day I find peace
Because I know there now is hope
And on this life a brand new lease
And find a new way I can cope
There still are bumps on life's new road
And sometimes things will still seem hard
But with new strength I bear this load
And life has dealt me a new card

Thanks Cindi and Helen.
It was mostly about grieving and how things seem all gloomy and after enough time, you learn to live once again and find new strength out of your hardships that you didn't have before.

Very nice Melissa. It touches the heart.
And you're right, you gain strength from dealing with personal hardships.
