Walk for Hope

Walk for Hope

By: Erin

One step

Two Step

Three Step

Four

Don’t give up… just a few more

Five step

Six step

Seven step

Eight 

All of us walking…. can relate

Nine step

Ten step

….

Oh no I must stop

Hold on… I feel I may drop

Take a break, slow down if you need

But ultimately we will proceed

For

We are walking for hope one step at a time

Sometimes sloped downhill, sometimes a climb

But, we will continue on – day and night

For HOPE is absolutely worth the fight

Without it we have nothing but darkness and despair

So that is why we walk to find it – here, there, everywhere

Walk for Hope

Let’s keep going

And as our group is growing

We will continue to

Walk for Hope

the frustrating things...

You can refuse

By: Erin

I am tempted to believe

I need to prove something to you

It’s like you see weakness in me

Where I know there is strength to be

I’ll admit I wish you saw me for who I am

The person I have always been

The person I love and I am proud of within

But

It became apparent that you do not 

See me beyond your own brain and thought

Which is hard because I want to prove to you, whom I care about

That I am finally learning, morphing, adjusting throughout

It is true convincing you is a waste of time and day

And it probably would not work anyway

Plus

Ultimately I should have not to prove to anyone who is inside me

Because I am fine to be me – and me is who you see

You might not see my progress with your eyes

So you question my judgment even when I try

So, I will not fight the fact that you see someone weak in my face

Because ultimately your thoughts about me don’t matter in the first place

I am stronger today than ever prior day

And if you don’t see that – it is okay

At that point I must wonder what is the issue with you

It’s something you might want to attend to
