We who lose hope,

There is no hope greater to lose than that of the future,

There is no future without children,

There are no children without the hope of betterment,

We have lost hope.

We have gained purpose,

In our descent into madness,

Through the lives of our children,

Our purpose is gained,

Our lives make sense,

Our truth is garnered,

It is part of us now,

Without it we have lost.

The nest maybe empty,

The chicks have flown,

They have grown,

They have broods of their own,

But our purpose is not lost,

In fact it may be greater than ever.

Those that have gained purpose,

Have gained hope,

Those that have lost hope,

Have lost purpose,

My sincere condolences.
