Optimism II

To pick up the pieces

And start again,
To dream of sunshine
While standing in rain,
To try and make sense
Where none can be found
And keep your feet
On trembling ground.

Yet you were there

To put me together,
You gave me the strength
To believe in forever.
You picked up the pieces
That I couldn’t find,
Put hope and believing back in my mind.

To wander in darkness

And sleepless nights
In the hope that a friend
Would turn on the lights.
You walked beside me
To show that you care,
And when I reached out
It was you who was there.
