In need of hope #WednesdayVerses

Things seem gloomy all around,

I don’t know where we are heading.

Hope was what kept us going,

The hope for a better tomorrow.

But now I wonder,

If we will even see another day.

Because all I see is humanity dying,

With something new each day.

I remember those days of old,

When the lines on my hands,

Told stories of what was in store,

For me and the life I was to live.

It was all supposed to be good,

A peaceful existence,

With only a little bit of sorrow,

Given in tiny doses.

But now there’s only pain and suffering,

And I look at my palm,

Searching for answers,

Wishing all those lines would tell me something.

Maybe we’ll make it through another day,

All we need is hope! 

So I now join my hands and pray,

Hoping things will be better someday!
