Hope

HOPE

A four letter word

That is often forgotten

Because in sorrow

It is hard to find hope

We all need hope

We need this word

To be kept in our heads

And kept in our hearts

Hope can open doors, 

Which were once locked

Hope can restore and reconcile

Trust and relationships

We all need to hope

Hope to be healed

Hope to be restored

Hope to be forgiven

We need to claim this word

We need to claim hope

We need to live in hope

Because hope is powerful

Dance it Out

All my pain, all my troubles

They are always with me

No idea how to dismiss them

What shall I do?

Something I once heard

Dance it out

Dance all the problems away

Just let yourself go

So I did, I danced it out

And I felt free

Danced like no one was watching

And it lifted my spirit

I felt free, I felt joy

My heart beating fast

And the adrenaline flowing

So when feeling low, Dance it out.

Ease My Troubles

Its the middle of the night

I am meant to be asleep

But my brain does not agree

And my thoughts are doing overtime

All the troubles and thoughts of the day

Seem to not want to disappear

I just want to go to sleep

Not relive my troubled day

I try to block the negative thoughts

And replace them with positivity

To help my brain relax

And my eyes close to sleep

But my plan is not working

What can I do to ease my troubles?

To remove the tension from my body

And get me over to sleep
