Hope Grows

This is a poem I wrote for Lupus Foundation of America, North Carolina Chapter as part of an attempt to share inspiration and hope for all of us living with lupus. I hope it will bless and encourage all, no matter what difficulties you may be facing!

Hope dwells in the heart

And flutters like butterfly wings,

Building strength of the spirit

To face the struggles life brings.

Hope glimmers and swells within

Even though the body grows weak,

And shines fiercely through the pain

As the comfort and healing we seek.

Hope bursts forth like flames,

Stronger than any disease,

And Victory is its name

For this hope will never cease!
