Hope

If there is a future there is time for mending-

Time to see your troubles coming to an ending.

Life is never hopeless however great the sorrow-

If you are looking forward to a new tomorrow.

If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping-

When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping.

Though the heart may be heavy and hurt you may be feeling-

If there is time for praying there is time for healing.

So, if through the window there is a new day breaking-

Thank god for the promise, though mind and soul be aching.

If with harvest over, there is grain enough for gleaning-

There is a new tomorrow and life still has meaning.
