the eternal hope of spring...


the sun will shine
as it always does
dark shadows will
retreat with defeat
as it always did

the roaring rays
that you'll never forget
for it lights your way
on sad and lonely days

how many nights
can we endure
how much tears
can roll in our face

until the sun comes
rising in the east
drying our wet
and flooded skin
until we can smile again :)

then comes spring
where pink flowers reign
then comes change
which we hoped to begin...

our president had this uplifting speech last night in the presence of both houses of congress, just like a state of the union address. it was meant to give hope to all of us here during this dire economic times. it worked and most of us believed him. change will come, help is on the way, hope will turn into reality and America will prosper once more. i just wished that it could come sooner for a lot are really suffering here, losing their jobs and the symbol of their American dreams, their homes...
