In The End There Is Hope

She looked in his eyes and kissed his cheek,
She held both of his hands, her knees became weak,
She wanted to talk and hear him speak,
But the words were all gone, the outlook was bleak.

As his spirit Rose, hers seemed to fall,
Shock and sadness brought her life to a crawl,
Pictures in her head and those on the Wall,
The lonliest days she would not soon recall.

She awoke in a daze with one thought in her head,
Wiped away the tears, the hurt and the dread,
Her heart was still heavy, her feet like lead,
As a breeze caught her listening, she heard what was said.

In the end there is hope, once the sadness has cleared,
All the fabled tales and the ones that you feared,
Will be passed on by you to the young and endeared,
In their minds they will carry the memories you've seared.
