Some might ask me, what is hope? <br />I tell them, hope is the motivation <br />to experience life at it's highest potential. <br />for hope has upheld me in all the pain that I been through. <br />when the world says, quit, throw in the towel, submit to defeat, <br />Hope's word's speak soft-ly to my heart saying, 'con-tin-ue.' <br />Hope says, 'you can make it, the pain you can take it; <br />It comes to make you tougher; <br />for you'll never really know how strong you really are untill you suffer.' <br />So I continue to stand still dispelling fear. <br />Holding on to God's unchanging hand like Jacob did; <br />Understanding that he is the author of my salvation. <br />Because when hope in him fades away, <br />the light of life becomes dim, like when day fades into midnight <br />to slowly usher in the moonlight. <br />Therefore the vibrant colors of Gods Artistry <br />can only be seen in black in white. <br />such a fright-ful dreary day, when hope fades away <br />because hearts begin to break <br />Therefore, eyes create rivers; <br />and those rivers drown pillows <br />Because when hope fades and is placed in the grave <br />the dreams of man become faithless widows <br />who gave birth to children of despair. <br />i know it's sad to say and probably even worst to hear <br />but this is what happens when hope..... fades....... away.<br /><br />E.W.
