If Hope could Speak



Press play before reading. Salute.



When that heartbreak you feel  

Shows up in your face  

  

And whispers you should feel abandoned and disgraced


When your feelings have been torn in two


No matter what you do


To the point where you can't pretend


And you beg that pain would end


Look for me in any mirror  

Your eternal friend


Hope


The devourer of pain and holy terror


Your appointed guardian angel and light bearer


For I will carry you for a million years


Try to wipe away and stop any painful tears


Banish fear jealously and hate


As your life, I try to steer


For there is nothing that I wouldn't do


To bring happiness  

My gift


To be opened by you


For I so loved the world  

And so love you too


And will pick you up whenever you fall


Now smile  

  

Just whisper these lines and I'll appear to help you renew


As I carry your lifes banner  

For all to see


Omnia Vincit Amor

For love does conquer all
