My Hope, 2nd in chronological order

My Hope!

The pain so everlasting,
It seems to be passing.
I can finally stand,
On my own feet again.
I’ve found a rock to lean on.

Comfort and beauty are finally mine,
I think I’ve woken up to find
There’s something to live for after all,
The rise that comes after the fall.
My life is brightened by the Sun.

With a single word I rise,
After a thousand empty lies.
The darkness flees my mind,
After all there is a kind
And gentle soul who makes the pain end.

When I ask I fall in love,
With my savior from above.
I beg forgiveness for my sin,
A silent peace warms my skin.
The darkness banished by a beautiful Raven.

A light shines in her eyes,
No matter how the darkness tries
She pushes away the ghost,
Simply by pulling me close.
Her power soars in my heart, a white dove.

I know her soul is pure,
Together we can endure
Anything rising from the past
I know our bond will last.
The way I was saved?  T’was by pure love!

She leaves and I hear the darkness call,
I look around and start to fall.
A simple sentence spoken from her heart,
The earth shakes and ground begins to part.
I fall into bliss and light instead of the pain.

If she ever falls I will be there,
Nothing can stop the rainy weather,
But we can stop the darkest fears.
Now only by joy do I feel tears.
As long as I have her I shall never fall again.

This is to my indescribable savior,
Thank you for being my warrior.
I was weak and you called my name,
My past no longer has a claim
On the beating of my fiery heart.

When I find that you’re with me,
I’m finally a completed entity.
A missing part to me is found,
I’ll sing your praises when I feel down.
Nothing will ever make us truly part…

Is your love as beautiful as mine?
