Pandora's Box

Always hold on to hope. 

In Greek mythology, Elpis is the spirit of hope. 

Pandora, (Greek: “All-Gifts”) in Greek mythology, the first woman.

Pandora's box
Contained all manner of spirits
Daimones that escaped 
Throughout the world

All that remained was Elpis
The spirit of hope
To remind mankind
To never give up 

Like the spring blossoms
That push through the snow
Life finds a way 
Nature overcomes obstacles

Pandora's box is a symbol
Hope is an eternal light
Go forth with purpose
Be uplifted and inspired 

Anything is possible
And despair is an illusion 
For faith is more powerful than fear
And we are built to prevail over demons 

When life seems impossible
And you're stuck in your own hell
Don't let the darkness fool you
For your light is more powerful

Focus on hope each day
Know that God will find a way
Trust and be guided by faith
That hope will lead to better days
