Hope

We breathe the light that shines right through
the light that lives inside of you
and in the darkest hours of night
the moments when you have no fight
break through those walls
the barricade surrounding your
most frightening falls,
trust that light
seek out that light
draw strength from that light
let it wash over your mind
your spirit
your bruised and scarred heart
let it wash over you
and clear your point of view
the jaded blurry vision of diabetes
washed away for the moment
opening your eyes to the clarity of hope
hope is like a child's most beautiful thought
eager for the coming days
of giggles and play.
hope is innocent
pure and strong
hope is the light shining bright and long.
