Hope is something more
Than a fleeting little thought
It is more than being lucky
It is something to be sought
It can vanish in one breath
Or the blinking of an eye
With its absence goes Potential
as you lose the will to try
You can find it deep inside
It has power as of life
It is stronger than a muscle
And is sharper than a knife
Its strength can overcome
It can force its way through all
It can jump the highest hurdles
It can climb the highest walls
Without hope, the gloom grows deeper
And the blackest waters rise
Light and love just disappear
From saddened, lowered eyes
It's absence leaves a hole
Burrowed in your heart
Searching; feeling lost
Not knowing where to start.
You lack sweet motivation
That PEPPER in your blood
That fires up your will
ANd engulfs you like a flood
Hope is something special
Pick some up while you are out
It can medicate your worries
And can silence every doubt
It attracts your deepest wishes
It empowers me and you
Hope for something wonderful
And make your dreams come true.
