This #POPCreators entry was submitted by LaKesia D. Session, a 32-year-old woman from Sumter, South Carolina, in the United States. She studied at Morris College in Sumter, South Carolina, from 2007-2013 and has a Bachelor of Arts in English degree.
She hopes this poem of hers can remind people who’ve experienced loss that there is still hope.
“The poem was inspired by the way I believe life should be even after the times when we are hurting or feeling lost, overwhelmed, etc. I believe that even after tragedy, everyone should feel and know hope, happiness, and love,” she tells POP!
Here is her poem entitled “After It All”:
After It All
And after it all
There is still Happiness
And there is still Hope
Yesterday was yesterday
And today is today
Tomorrow will be tomorrow
And that sun will still rise (again)
There is still Happiness
There is still Hope
And after it all
Someone will be there to love you in the end—
After it all.
