In all worthwhile endeavors, <br />No matter size or scope. <br />It shall either have a life, <br />Or die, a thing called hope. <br /> <br />It all depends on caring. <br />Those willing to take part. <br />Hope, to be sustained at all; <br />Requires a beating heart. <br /> <br />Each heart that God created, <br />Has value each in turn. <br />When called upon to voice it, <br />Don't shrink from your concern. <br /> <br />Its in those special moments, <br />When life gives you a choice; <br />You'll either sit in silence, <br />Or stand and lend your voice. <br /> <br />It's with the inspiration <br />Derived from what you do. <br />Others may participate <br />And make your dream come true. <br /> <br />If you need inspiration <br />To act on your concern, <br />Just take note of your children, <br />And how they come to learn. <br /> <br />They look to you for guidance, <br />To see what they should do. <br />How to be a citizen. <br />Concerned, what do they do? <br /> <br />It's now your time for choosing; <br />Don't sit, and cry, and mope. <br />It shall either have a life, <br />Or die, a thing called hope.<br /><br />GREENWOLFE 1962<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-thing-called-hope/
