Hope


Brighter than the suns strong smile Her eyes have been searching for miles. Miles to go, miles to go*, oh how she wished she’d know. Never stopping to take a breath, Her uneven paces took her places she had never been, But alas she still had not found her fire within. How was she supposed to grow and shimmer When the light in her eyes was growing dimmer…? Miles to go, miles to go*, oh how she wished she’d know Where to find that helping hand That will hold her heart safe and help her stand.
