Hope provides courage and patience to wait.
The journey’s not over, it’s not yet too late.
Don’t get discouraged when life seems unfair,
But reach out to others and show love and care.
By going through valleys encountered in life,
We learn from the hard times, the troubles, and strife.
We build up endurance and strength for each day,
Some of them sunny while others are gray.
Hope requires faith, an abundance of love,
A spirit inside that is sent from above.
Hope is not something to see, feel, or taste,
And yet it’s essential, not something to waste.
I’m grateful for hope and the faith to believe
In the Lord who’s eternal, who never will leave.
