Better Days are Coming

Better days are coming, they said

But can I trust them?

How do they know?

How can they be sure?

Better days are coming, she said

offering her shoulder as a pillow,

a hand to wipe my tears

Better days are coming, he said

because he knows how convincing a mind can be

Better days are coming, she said

showing me the facts

that every storm

eventually runs out of rain

Better days are coming, they say

and this this time I believe them

because I know they’ll never let me fall behind

that they’ll stay with me

until better days arrive.
