Hope

Hope is the light in the darkness 
Hope knows your fear 
It’ll bring you courage 
Hope loves you dear

Hope is a shelter
From the wildest storm 
That saves you from danger 
And keeps you warm

Hope is a doctor 
Saving lives everyday 
Stitching your wounds 
Hope never walks away

Hope will take the pieces 
Stick them back together
Get you back on your feet 
After every battle

Hope is your wings away 
From a burning hell 
Hope is another day 
After you fell

Hope is always near 
If you dare asking for help 
Hope is your best friend 
Hope is so intimate

Hope will sweep your tear 
With a kiss so tender 
Put a smile on your face 
And make it all better

Hope is a mother
Who’d do anything to protect you 
She’d lie whatever 
Hide anything from you

She’ll put before your eyes 
A beautiful picture 
Will remove from your sight 
Anything insecure

Hope might be a mirage 
That keeps you going 
Hope is the stage 
For the shore of your dreams

Hope is a traitor 
Only if you rub your eyes 
Because sometimes a preacher 
For beautiful lies

Hope is an illusion 
That has fooled me before 
Hope is an addiction 
That you can long for

Sometimes a liar 
Sometimes a saint 
Hope was my savior
When I’d loose all faith

Hope will never leave you 
Only you can walk away 
Don’t be a fool and deny hope 
It will love you everyday

Dear Claire,

This was so soft and tender, what a beautiful ray of hope this is shining through the forrest of our hearts.

I hope that the person this was intended for really appreciates it, how could they not?

This was longing, everlast.

I really like this. Especially the last line. We lose hope, hope doesn't lose us. If we hold on to it, hope can get us through the darkest nights and even if we're barely hanging on, we're still hanging on. Nice write.
