Good job little one,
\nyou’ve reached this far.
\nIf not for hope;
\nwould you have come through?
\nHope, kid, is like the sun
\nIt doesn’t turn it’s back on you.
\nEven on your darkest hours
\nit’ll linger as a dim light.
\nHope is what you are made of.
\nYou nurture hope, even when you’re unaware
\nof its existence.
\nHope is the song you hear when you’re crying
\nThe guard when you’re at the lowest
\nThe friend in solace
\nThe spark over the night sky.<\/p>\n
It was hope that brought me this far.
\nAs I’m penning down the last few sentences
\nof a challenge I was still unsure
\nof a fear to stay up all night
\nof a dedication to complete
\nof a new world I’ve witnessed
\nGratitude, it is, that overwhelms my heart. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
