Do Not Despair

~

By Rowan Finley Published 11 months ago 1 min read

Rise above the naysaying and negativity,

on the wings that bring refreshment.

Hold my hand, clasp my fingers tight,

put the crowds jeers out of your sight.

You’re the light piercing from a lighthouse,

and I feel your aching, anchor heart,

let me lift it up and carry it through this storm.

Do not despair,

know that I care.

Always.
