A Small Word

Such a small word it is true
But it helps the unfortunate
It gets them through

Saves them from a future black
From the edge of despair
It pulls them back

Aspirations and desire it gives
Food for their future
That dreams can live

The small word the lets us cope
Through our tough times
That word is hope.
