WHEN HOPE REFUSES TO DIE
poem

WHEN HOPE REFUSES TO DIE

At the dark of night when dreams go astray,

When all roads require a cost,

When weary hearts grow weak and afraid,

But the expression of laughter is lost and replaced by quiet tears,

Hope softly says, “Stay alive,

You have a purpose to live for.”


If the doors begin to close and the plans have fallen through,

When all things appear to be falling apart,

If yesterday dealt you a crushing blow,

And tomorrow is never like yesterday,

Hope lights a candle in the night,

Reminding us that we are to find the light.


If storms are coming and the wind is increasing in force,

If it seems like everything is wrong,

Hope stands firm, it will not bend,

The fight does not have to be over.

Although mountains are before thy feet,Although mountains are standing before thee,

Hope says to your heart, “There'll be a day.”


A day when broken dreams will heal,

A day when agonizing pages cease to exist,

A day when tears will be wiped away,

And you will experience the value of each mile.


When life is cold, tighten your fist,

Let faith be more powerful than what you are told.

When all seem dead,

A small fire is still burning close by.


As long as this sparks is bright

You still have courage, you still have light.

Keep on going, reach for the sky

Hope never dies, refuses.
