Joplin--The Town That Hope Built

HOPE is Helping and Serving, HOPE is Here! HOPE is Living and Breathing, HOPE is Near. HOPE is Rising, Reach up for me! HOPE is Giving, HOPE is Receiving, HOPE is Loving, HOPE is Believing, HOPE is Redeeming For all to see. HOPE is Hoping, Dont give up on me. HOPE is Persevering, HOPE is Endearing, HOPE is Praying, HOPE is Cheering. HOPE will not Fade, HOPE will not Wilt; For this is the town that HOPE built. HOPE built it Before, and HOPE will build it Again.

hope is remaining true to the right people, thought i would add to it, hope is doing what is right for the right people, hope is loyalty, hope is only loving if it is loyal,no loyaly means no love
