Abandoned In Favour of Hope

Everything built to be abandoned, 
Except for hope.

Everything will decay one day, 
Except for hope.

Everything will be given up at some stage,
Except for hope.

Everything will fail, eventually,
Except hope.

My hope is that humankind,
Will live out its time in peace,
That as long, as our hearts are functioning,
Love will have a home,
Hate will have nowhere to grow,
And joy will know no bounds.
