Hope

     Having hope means having life. Without it you will wither and die. What makes Hope so special?

    -It bends, it twists, it sometimes hides, but rarely does it break.

    -It sustains us when nothing else can. 

    -It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead, when we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.  

    -It puts a smile on our face when the heart cannot manage. 

     -It puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see it. 

     -It moves us to act when our souls are confused of the direction. 

     -It is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished and nurtured, and something that will refresh us in return. 

     -It can be found in each of us, and it can bring light into the darkest of places. 

     You can lose a lot of stuff, but you can't afford to be without hope. It is eternal!
