Hope Eternal

“Adversity ... which a man most easily becomes acquainted with himself.” - S. Johnson

Hope Eternal

Circling like sharks in an angry sea
problems mount, as far as eye can see.
Overcoming troubles life brings,
often feels like unknotting strings.
Happiness is never a guarantee,
yet, perseverance might be the key.
If adversity causes stings,
Remember Hope Eternal springs.
