Sparks of Hope

hope is going on, even if not knowing where
hope is running on, even if not knowing why
hope is loving on, even if not knowing whom
hope is living on, even if not knowing what for.
 
hope is when you smile not knowing why,
hope is when you think bad times can go by,
hope is when you want to see the light 
hope is morning after night.
 
hope is stumbling, but stand up again
hope is falling, but then getting up
hope is stopping, but going on
hope is dawning, but then rising high.
 
hope is when the night is cold
hope is when you're feeling old
hope is when you grit your teeth
hope is maybe beneath.
 
hope is the hand that helps you getting up
hope is the one asking you „What's going on?“
hope is the one who gives you a hug
hope is when you realize that you are not alone.
 
hope is going on, even if the way is long
hope is running on, knowing, you are strong
hope is loving on, even if this can ail
hope is living on, even if you fail.
 
hope whatever you do.
hope is what I wish 
you.
