Sharing a poem a month from our poetry book collection.
This month we will be sharing a poem from Hope Journey
and the story behind it.
Hope Journey was written during the pandemic. As the world came to a standstill, everything else didn't. People are already worried with health issues yet were faced with the loss of income. Some relationships broke down and friendships got burnt.
It took a toll on everyone. Everyone I knew was in some struggle of their own. It was painful to see. I am sure many of us have been in the position where we see our loved ones dealing with difficult situation and you can see them struggle.
When I wrote this, I had a few of my loved ones in mind. To tell them that hey there is someone here to help you whenever possible. Don/t give up! I will never understand the pain they feel because they are the ones carrying the burden. But at least they know someone or some people will be around to carry their heavy load.
Let's give hope to people we care about. Always remind them that they are never alone.
