Hope Is

Hope is like a house

See those windows, doors, and roof.

Lets in all that sun

Shields from the wind, the rain, but not foolproof.

Hope is like a home

See those peoples’ dreams and prayers

Lets in all those unspoken wishes

Shields from the drain and pain of our deepest cares.

Hope is like the wind

It goes wherever it wills

Carries all of our aspirations

Reminds us of tomorrows unlived.

Hope is like the sun that rises and sets

The hopeful rays of a newborn day

Sweet shadows in the early evening

Protects from our relentless fears we pray.

Hope is like a house and

Hope is like a home.

Hope is like the wind and

Hope is like the sun.
