H.O.P.E.

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
