When Hopes Are Lost

Like pearls they fell from her eyes
Those precious tears no one cared to wipe

She had a buddy - both handsome and smart
In whom she could confide and pour out her heart

Her long - buried neglected pain
Now gushed out like monsoon rain

He knew she was wounded and deeply hurt
But lacked the courage to comfort

And so without further delay
He shook his head and walked away

She was crushed, her world went dark
His abandonment had left its deadly mark

Calmness spread as she hiked up the hill
"Peace atlast", she thought aloud

She paused at the edge of the cliff
The silence was eerie, the world stood still

A myriad of memories flooded her mind
Her sweet childhood, her parents - loving and kind

She remembered Him who had granted her life
And gave her strength to survive her daily strife

He gave the blessing of life and had ultimate right to take it away
Who was she to oppose His way?

No, no..she was born with a purpose and was here to stay
