Hope

If there is no hope 
what reason do you have to pray?
If there is no hope
how can you look forward to a new day?
if there is no hope
what is there for you to desire?
what feelings do you possess
that makes you inspired?
If there is no hope
there is no future
you have stopped living for tomorrow

If there is no hope
how do you expect any change?
If there is no hope
what is there to sustain?
Hope is what gets us through
each and every day
Hope is what we wish for
as we go on our way

Hope is looking forward
Hope is the evidence of things unseen
Hope is the essence of man's existence
Hope is not knowing what coming
but anticipating It
Hope is the presence of the Holy Spirit
