DO YOU KNOW WHAT HOPE IS?
IT'S NOT A PRESCRIPTION.
IT PUNCTUATES OUR LAUGHTER.
IT SIMMERS UNDER SORROWS.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HOPE IS?
IT'S DREAMING OF TOMORROW.
IT'S PUSHING PAST THE IMPOSSIBLE.
IT'S QUESTIONING THE ANSWER.
IT'S RUMORS OF A BREAK, A ROLLER COASTER RIDE.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HOPE IS?
IT'S PERFUME FOR THE SPIRIT.
TAKE MY HAND... COME...
IT'S MAJIC AND IT'S FREE.
IT'S NOT IN AN I.V.
IT SPARKLES IN OUR TEARS.
IT DISPUTES OUR FEARS.
IT'S REACHING PAST TODAY.
IT'S TRYING A NEW WAY.
IT'S POUNDING ON THE DOOR.
IT'S ALWAYS SEEKING MORE.
IT WHISPERS A CURE.
OF REMEDIES UNSURE.
IT'S CANDY FOR THE SOUL.
TO SHARE IT MAKES YOU WHOLE.
LET'S SHARE THIS HOPE TOGETHER...

Great poem... Hope is what makes us get up in the morning, hope is what gives us reason to be, hope is what makes us love....
