Here I am, with all hope well gone<\/p>\n
Of ever escaping this trap;<\/p>\n
No home, no car, no money–<\/p>\n
Alone; my faith as been zapped.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How will I ever move forward?<\/p>\n
Deep fear and despair grip my heart.<\/p>\n
I only expect falling downhill,<\/p>\n
And I’m looking forward to naught.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Is there any hope for a sad song?<\/p>\n
Can there be relief from dismay?<\/p>\n
Can charity give way to joyful?<\/p>\n
Can love make a difference today?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Put one foot in front of the other.<\/p>\n
Take a step; no matter how small,<\/p>\n
To pull yourself out of your doldrums–<\/p>\n
This trap’s door surely will fall.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There are people around who are smiling;<\/p>\n
Latch on, and learn well their life.<\/p>\n
See what they have that brings joy,<\/p>\n
Then set new goals in your sight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
