Stay with me,
Hold my trembling hands!
And with my failing strength,
I’d give you all my thanks.
The night is dark,
and morning seems so long,
How could I carry on
unless someone comes along?
In the land of shadows,
where I walked,
I forgot all my hopes
’til I heard a song.
I heard your voice
from far away
And hope returned
when I saw your face.
Why did I ever
wander far,
when I have all
right where you are?
Jocelyn Soriano wrote the books “Poems of Love and Letting Go” and “Of Wave and Butterflies: Poems on Grief”.

The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
