Hope!

Tell me, where hope can be found

By Joseph Edward MichaelPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Tell me, where hope can be found,

Up in the sky, or down underground?

Or is it something that can be heard,

Like a familiar song, or in a reassuring word?

Tell me, where hope can be seen,

A peaceful sunset, or a joyous dream?

Or is it that feeling that you can say,

The sun is out, and clouds have gone away?

It is true that hope can be found,

In the sky and down underground.

And in fact, it can be heard,

In a familiar song, and in a reassuring word.

It is not a lie that hope can be seen,

In a peaceful sunset, or a joyous dream.

And when you feel hope, you can say,

The sun is out, and clouds are away.

And now, listen to what I have here,

Hope can be found from love, not fear.

Even when all these things are gone,

Your heart is one place hope will always belong.
