Hope is alive

                       

When you try to stand, but cannot feel your feet

And you make the move, but your legs fail you

When you try to speak, but cannot find your voice

And you cry out loudest, but cannot be heard

Turn to hope!

Hope does not fail - hope conquers

When you perceive light at the end of the tunnel

But darkness is all you see around you

And your inner will threatens to surrender

But the reward of perseverance blooms

Turn to hope!

Hope does not give up - hope assures

When impossibility offers you a wide embrace

And promises a better future than resolution

But introduces you to dejection and self-pity

And the opportunity for negotiation seems unreachable

Turn to hope!

Hope is not dead - hope is alive
