Hope
“I hoped the sun would shine again replacing clouds and rain.
I hoped some relief would come and drive away the pain.
I shared with hope the feeling that the way would soon be clear,
and as we groped to find our path Your hope is always near.
I hoped to find solutions for the problems of the day I hoped to find the answers to questions on my way
Yet day by day no answers came solutions fled away the path stayed dark the journey drear but hope was there to stay.
At journeys end t’was just the same continued I to grope.
No answers or solutions came and all I had was hope
Did sorrow cloud my weary heart and did I weep and mope? It was not the end that brought me joy but traveling with Hope.
My life was rich and filled with peace until my journey’s end. For Hope was constantly with me and was my dearest friend.
My problem yet has not been solved yet I have learned to cope. For it was worth it all to travel with my constant friend named Hope.”
