Till it is gone
January 19, 2012
Hold on to hope
As it slips like water through the cracks.
You were there to catch it,
And give it back.
Hold on to faith
As it spreads it's wings and flies away.
You were there to trap it,
And return it to me.
Hold on to courage,
As it hides in the jungle.
You were there to find it,
And Hand it to me.
And I, I let hope go
Like water in the river.
I will watch it flow, and hope it comes back.
I let faith out of it's cage
To fly away.
I will watch it fly, and believe it will return.
I let courage off it's leash
Let it run free.
I will watch until it is gone.
Just like you.
