Lost Hope

Stacy Sapp Dortch 1969 (Millen)



Lost Hope

Full of Pain

Looking For Sunshine

I Got Rain

Looking For Nice Clouds

Instead Got Black and Gray

Seeking Smooth Waters

But I Received A Horrible Day

Almost Died From Sadness

And I Got Abuse

Thought I Get Hug and Kisses

Instead Got Misuse.

Why Can’t I get Love

With Silvery Clouds Above?

Maybe One Day

There will be Goodness

And Kindness, Peace

I still choose to Hope

And Blessings I still seek.
