There’s a HOPE that lives
within you.
Draw upon it to help you
dream of what can be.
It’s a feeling of optimism
that something you want can be had,
an anticipation that something good
will come in the future.
Even in your darkest moments
HOPE is trusting that there is light
despite all the darkness,
trusting there is healing
despite hurt and pain.
It’s knowing that even in the darkest night,
the stars will be shining bright.
It’s trusting that after a long night
the dawn will come.
HOPE is clinging to what is possible.
It’s refusing to give up,
refusing to give in.
A single thread of HOPE is often
the strongest thread of all.
Hang on to it.
Don’t let go.
Refuse to listen to the can’ts,
the won’ts, the shouldn’ts,
and the impossibles.
Hang on to that thread of HOPE
and listen only to the possibles.
Let your HOPE be stronger
than your doubts and fear.
There’s a HOPE that lives within you.
Draw upon it to help you
dream of what can be.
