Hope Is a Handmade Gift

As life reveals itself to you don't be afraid
The best gift that it gives is usually handmade

Just grab hold of your destiny and hang on tight
And know that you can lead yourself into the light

In blackest night there always comes around the morn
When all seems lost there is a hopeful glimmer born

Deep as the river runs will be the love you find
If you allow someone to bless you and be kind

When you're out walking in the storm try to be calm
Let sunshine gather 'round your shoulders like a balm

Wrap yourself in strength of purpose every day
Never give up hope that you will find your way

Believe the colors of the wind will paint your soul
Though circumstance can wear you down and take its toll

Keep your spirits lifted high to heaven above
Surround yourself with sweet bouquets of hope and love
