The Face Of Hope

The Face Of Hope

Hope is a stubborn and persistent orphan
Who longs for a parent to take them in
And move forward through the dust.

The face of hope always points ahead
Eyes wide open searching for open doors
Leaving behind unnecessary baggage.

Hope goes in a better direction for you
A path for something better
Where the sun shines on the moon at night,

The light bringing clarity in darkness
Hope will hold your hand to comfort you
From crawling to walking to running!

Hope will hold out their hand to you
Give you a feast instead of breadcrumbs
It will feed you more than you need.

When you refuse to give up hope arrives
Waking up to morning with gratitude
Hope brings energy for life to go on!
