The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – hope.
There once was a woman who lived by the sea
Her hands were worn, her heart set free.
Each night she’d light a single flame
Though storms would howl and challenge her name.
Why light that lantern? people cried
The waves are wild, the ships have died
But still she kindled, soft and slow
“I light it for the ones who’ll need its glow.”
Years rolled on, the winds grew cold
Her hair turned silver, her back bent old.
Yet, on that cliff she took her stand
A trembling light held in her hand.
One night, a ship lost far from shore
Saw her lantern, faint no more.
It steered towards hope, through wind and foam
And found at dawn a path to home.
They say she smiled before she slept
A gentle peace her soul had kept.
For hope, you see, is lit by a few
But shines for all and carries through.
