Hope is a feather floating in a bright blue sky

Hope is that sparkle that shines in your eyes.

Hope is a butterfly fluttering on the wind

Hope is good times spent with family and friends.

Hope is a newborn baby’s cry

Hope is a Mother’s lullaby.

Hope is God’s rainbow after a rain

Hope is the harvest of golden grain.

Hope is the light that keeps darkness at bay

Hope is the breeze on a hot summer day.

Hope is ever present and free of cost

Hope is the last thing ever lost.

Hope is staying positive when the going gets tough

Hope is seeking God when you feel you’ve had enough.

Hope is recovery from simmering sorrow

Hope is believing in a brighter tomorrow.
