Hope Is Sustenance for Joie De Vivre

All good deeds stem from a belief 
That we can effect change and bring relief 
To people in need or those in grief 
Hope gives us motive, to be brief

Eternal springs hope in the human breast
To this the lives of great folks best attest
No hope and life’s heart will forthwith arrest 
Hope sends you high atop life’s crest

None but the hopeful can weather life 
In troubled times and in strife
When despair pours in thick and rife
Cut through it fast with hope’s knife 

In darkness find a ray of hope 
To help you with problems cope 
Wash off doldrums with the soap of hope 
Get up afresh and up your lope

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
