HOPE
Hope is the sun shining brightly
Shining the whole day through
And though it doesn't seem that way
It's shining nightly too
Showers and storms obscure it
But the sun always shines
In deep dark desperate hours
Hope is here, we find
-----------------
Hope is the seedling dependent
On warmth and wet to come
Waiting for the magic moment
To push towards the sun
Hope is patience and endurance
Willing to watch and wait
Knowing there'll surely be a chance
To fashion its own fate
------------------
Hope is sometimes perspiration
Glistening on the brow
Telling us perseverance makes
Life taste better somehow
------------------
Hope is also inspiration
We sometimes chance upon
Today I stumbled upon a verse
Its point inspired this song
---------------------
Someone chalked upon a board
This pithy little quote
It's from Emily Dickinson
This is what she wrote
"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all."
Those four lines, they say it all
They give hope to all who read
Thank you Emily Dickinson
Another bird is freed
Hope is the sun shining brightly
Shining the whole day through
And though it doesn't seem that way
It's shining nightly too
Showers and storms obscure it
But the sun always shines
In deep dark desperate hours
Hope is here, we find

Hope is the seedling dependent

Waiting for the magic moment

Willing to watch and wait
Knowing there'll surely be a chance
To fashion its own fate
