Hope



Hope is like the seed that sleeps
Beneath the winter snow,
And waits with expectation
In darkness there below.
A yearning for fulfillment,
Another chance to grow,
The promise of awakening
In the spring tomorrow.

In my heart, there is a seed
That longs for spring to come,
And waits with expectation
When life seems all but done.
Yearning for fulfillment too,
Within my heart there grows
That seed of hope and promise
In the spring tomorrow.

Above all, to be respectful and helpful to my fellow man. more…
