HOPE

Having hope doesn’t mean everything that hurts disappears, 

It’s being open to feel your fears.

It means admitting that you have no idea what the next step will be like,

but to stop assuming the worst possibilities in life.

I found hope to be my life jacket, keeping me afloat when I felt I would drown in fear

Even in those moments when my best coping mechanism seems to disappear.

Hope is a waking dream,

It makes us believe that after a dark night will light gleam.

Hope is the power that makes us happy on a gloomy day,

It makes us believe that we are stronger than any challenge coming our way.

It's the power that makes us believe that we can get through the toughest of times,

It's the power we have to believe in for a lifetime.

So allow the life-giving energy of hope to uplift your spirits 

And shine a light to guide you through life’s twists!
