Hold On

the heart ache that comes  
from hope deferred  
is a heart ache of longing  
a need to be heard  
a need to be seen  
when everything’s blurred  
to be understood
a spirit that’s stirred  
a heart ache that flutters  
like wings of a bird  
anxious and waiting  
for just the right word  
 
a longing fulfilled  
is a tree of life  
as when darkness is scattered  
by rays of light  
when vague shapes in the distance  
become clear in my sight  
when what once was buried  
bursts through to great heights  
glows into brilliance  
like stars in the night  
 
hold onto hope  
grow towards the light
 
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13:12‬ ‭NIV‬‬
