The Golden Thread

 

Throughout one's life there is a golden thread of hope,

in a world of personal difficulties and times of strife

this thread holds fast within our daily life.

When downcast and despondent it appears from nowhere,

to sustain us and uplift us to drive away any fear or scare.

When jubilant and glowing with joy it remains unseen,

but through those dark days it has always been.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast to spur us on,

this is where the golden thread comes from.

Deep within our soul it reassures us of its very existence,

as it lives in a state of permanent residence.

The thread is tied with love and charity,

this is a bond of rich fidelity.

At our lowest ebb or filled with dread,

there is always the golden thread.
