This Feeling Hope

This Feeling, Hope



This feeling I have is so strong.

This feeling I have is so sure.

This feeling I have can’t be wrong.

This feeling I have still endures.

After all disappointment and strife,

After all disillusionment deep,

After sadness, depression and sighs,

Still, back it relentlessly creeps.

This feeling is ancient as time,

As certain as winter and spring,

Dependable, radiant, kind,

Eternally warm, embracing, and

This feeling is simple indeed

But priceless beyond all compare.

Hope is this feeling in me,

A hope all humanity shares.

Hope is a healer of hearts.

Hope is a master of dreams.

A lighthouse illumining far,

In spite of how near 

Darkness seems.
