Living with Hope


 

Living with Hope

What does it mean to suffer?

How are you coping?

Do you have a disability?

What should you do?

 

Many people have these problems.

It’s amazing how they cope.

Some timid souls give up.

Those who are strong persevere.

 

But why give up?

Adversities are meant to be faced.

So, make it your duty to move on.

It isn’t the end of the world.

 

Some folks grow stronger by suffering.

They come to see life differently.

Every moment is precious in their lives.

They are able to reach out to others.

 

These patients know how to live.

They do their best to manage their pain.

Yet, their spirits aren’t daunted.

They give friends words of encouragement.

For these afflicted ones live with hope.
