A Hopeful Glance

Though shadows fall and trials loom,
And darkness seems to fill the air,
There still exists a light, a room,
Where hope resides, beyond compare.
It is a spark, a tiny flame,
That flickers in the soul's deep night,
And whispers softly, speak its name,
And banish darkness with its light.
