Defining Hope
Copyrights Reserved© LeX Productions 2005
A fresh breath of air everyday
The sliver of sunshine amidst dark shadows looming
The glistening stars in the menacing black skies
The oasis anchored in the desert of life
Hope epitomizes them all
When one feels weary, uninspired, discouraged
With a heart filled with anguish and regret
The finish line a mere speck in the faraway horizons
Innumerable odds rising against you in unison
Do you lift your hands in meek surrender?
Consign oneself to the throes of defeat and despondency?
We don’t
We don’t simply because of something
Something deeply entrenched in every heart
Irrepressible by any force
Unwavering through all times
It goes by the name of
Hope
It is the reason why
We don’t let falls stop us
Keeps us going despite overwhelming waves of adversities
Giving us the courage to press on
Towards goals, dreams and visions beyond
