Hope

Hope can last eternal
giving to our spirit life.
We should not let it falter
during periods of strife.

It's something deep inside us
that says things will be alright.
That nothing now can stop us
whether by day nor during night.

No-one can take it from you
they cannot steal your hope.
But if you give it up to them
throughout your life you'll mope.

It doesn't have to be that way
there's a better way to live.
Don't treat your hope as water
letting it drain out through a sieve.

Hang on tight, hold it close
you'll always seem to cope.
As long as you don't give away
that precious gift of hope.
