When the desperation hit <br />When the people cried in the streets <br />When everything felt at loss <br />Hope stayed, even though fleaing would be easier <br /> <br />When the eyes were full of tears. <br />When kids and families were torn apart <br />By that last desperate grasp <br />Hope tried <br /> <br />When all else gave up <br />When all else backed off <br />When people lost all they had <br />Hope flew <br /> <br />When they cried <br />When the world was shocked with desperation and dispair <br />When nothing seemed good <br />Hope worked <br /> <br />When those four planes crashed <br />When the buildings fell <br />When the lives were lost <br />Hope was there <br /> <br />Hope was only a tiny glimmer <br />Hope was still there <br />She ran to those who needed her <br />She worked to help <br /> <br />When all else failed <br />Hope didn't <br />She flew through us all <br />Letting us know, we still had her <br />We just needed to look hard enough <br /> <br />Hope was there <br />Hope remembers<br /><br />Jessica Millsaps<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hope-is-not-lost/
