A bit of poetry: "The Metaphor of Hope"
::Edit:: I think we got it fixed. I think it may be slightly greeting-card like, but overall at this point I'm happy with how it turned out.
The Metaphor of Hope
The verses rise and fall
In symphony and chorus
A melodrama lived by all
As tones of life pour o'er us
Within this play and song of life
Though metaphors may fail,
Oh never does the story end
Until death lifts it's veil.
Before that day no time of strife
Will come without a chance
For hearts to find the strength to mend
Though't come from briefest glance.
The heart it knows full well
Despite the grimmest callous
That Heaven may be seen from Hell
And kindness cure malice.
Original final stanza was as follows:
"We know it in our hearts
Despite the grimmest callous
That light may come within the dark
For us or others through us."
The off-rhyme didn't really fit after all the other solid ones, and I think I may like this version better anyway because it's a bit less cheesy sounding.
