If I had a magic wand,
I'd take away your pain.
If I had a wishing pond,
I'd make your world sane.

I know it's bad,
I feel your sad.
Words are what I have.
To drive away the mad.
And hope to make you glad,
there's sun-shine to be had.

Though dark it might seem,
There's much to redeem.
In daylight we'll stand,
even hand in hand.

I'll smile for you,
as you smiled for me.
Though pain there be,
you'll see we are free.

And hope does spring ...

Eternally!
