Hope

HOPE

A four letter word

That is often forgotten

Because in sorrow

It is hard to find hope

We all need hope

We need this word

To be kept in our heads

And kept in our hearts

Hope can open doors, 

Which were once locked

Hope can restore and reconcile

Trust and relationships

We all need to hope

Hope to be healed

Hope to be restored

Hope to be forgiven

We need to claim this word

We need to claim hope

We need to live in hope

Because hope is powerful
