Life

There's a tiny speck of hope,
That's still buried deep within me,
It sustains me from day to day,
And helps me to see,

That there's a brighter side,
To everything dark and sinister,
However impossible it seems today,
Things will someday get easier.

I hold on tightly to this idea,
And let myself believe,
One day I'll gather all the sweetness,
Having passed through this life size sieve.
