Look for light

Every morning I wake up, I give thanks. Giving thanks reminds me that hope is a flickering light that burns within. It doesn't need much to keep it alight, it just needs a little oxygen. Some days my hope is a roaring fire, other days it is but a flame.
My job is simple, to keep the flame of hope forever alive.
Look for light
in the darkest places,
even when you
can see but traces.
And when all is dark
and truly grim,
remember hope, a light
that burns within.
