Finding Hope

I have to post this wonderfully insightful poem written by a beautiful 14-year-old young woman whom has had a very difficult life up this point.  She does not have a strong religious background, so the gospel is new to her.  She has been reading and praying faithfully every day.  She and her cousin are both following through with their studies perfectly and like no one we have ever taught before.  She and her new family are blessing our lives beyond explanation.  This poem and she are brilliant (as it is said in England); by the way, she has had very little schooling, so you can appreciate her inborn talent to express herself so poignantly.
