Hope

What does hope do for humanity?

Hope shines brightest when the hour is darkest
Hope motivates when discouragement comes
Hope energizes when the body is tired
Hope sweetens while the bitterness bites
Hope sings when all melodies are gone
Hope believes when the evidence is eliminated
Hope listens for answers when no one is talking
Hope climbs over obstacles when no one is helping
Hope endures hardship when no one is caring
Hope smiles confidently when no one is laughing
Hope reaches for answers when no one is asking
Hope presses toward victory when no one is encouraging
Hope dares to give when no one is sharing
Hope brings the victory when no one is winning
