H.O.P.E
by Steven Bates
When pain persists and rips away
your sanity, your will to stay
When it strips the core of what you are
and it's taken you past the edge too far
Remember pain is just a thing
to remind you there is more to gain
Healing comes to those who wait
who take the pain along with fate,
for wounds will close, scars will fade
help will come from friends you've made
remember the letters h. o. p. e.
spell them out and you will see
they stand for what I promise you friends
Always remember, Hang On, Pain Ends
