Hope

When life seems so tempest tossed, And all seems so hopelessly lost, Claw back up that slippery slope! Just remember that there is always hope! When things never seem to go right, And you feel you've lost your guiding light, And in the darkest of times you trip and grope. Just remember that there is always hope! When in the throes of trials and stress, And in times of dire hoplessness, 'Twill be much easier for you to cope, Remembering that there is always hope! When upon receipt of dreadful news, You can dwell upon it if you choose. It will do no good just to sit and mope. Just remember that there is always hope! When life has not been kind to you, And you are feeling asea and blue, Clinging fearfully at the end of the rope, Just remember that there is always hope!
