ALL IS NOT LOST

ALL IS NOT LOST

As she sits there shining in the summer sun
Staring at the sky
Thinking of the way it should be
She wishes on a shooting star
Wishes that things will get better

But as the story always goes

People like her don’t get what they should

And life isn’t too great

But when she can, she makes the best of what she’s got

As days go by she loses more & more hope

Gazing across the street, staring at the happy people

She begins to weep & put her head in her hands

That is the only way she knows how to cope

But all hope is not lost

The future will bring hope & happiness

And the sun will shine once again

And even brighter
