He arrived at a time of desperation

A frightening period of trepidation

There was a desperate need to fill a gaping void

So much had been lost, at one hell of a cost


The problems were lined up like ducks in a row

But it was you who was the duck, and you moved too slow

You could no longer avoid the potshots aimed at you

It is always worse when they come from the ones you love


When you are the joyful glue that normally binds us all together

Your own suffering is ignored, you are expected to weather every storm

But that is impossible when you are all at sea and all hope is lost

We feared for your destiny as you tried but failed to swim


But you were saved by another lost and lonely stranger 

He came seeking love and attention, two mortals found an instant connection

All it took was one little cuddle and unconditional affection

You took him home and named him Hope, he was your resurrection
