I ask myself everyday <br />And want to know today <br />What brightens my day <br />What lightens my way <br /> <br />For I feel life is slipping by <br />Anf troubles are flowing high <br />And the words of love and hope <br />Are lost and now I cannot cope <br /> <br />For the dreams that I've dreamt <br />And the words that I've meant <br />Are all losing its glory and charm <br />And I'm losing peace and calm <br /> <br />Please God help me to follow <br />The path of hope and swallow <br />The bitter bite and realities of life <br />So I can get back on hope's drive <br /> <br />And once again can bring back smile <br />And avail it for all for a while <br />And take a break from struggle and pain <br />And calculate the cost of hope and fain.<br /><br />Seema Chowdhury<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cost-of-hope/
