A flash of light in the middle of darkness, a ray of sun in the gloom,
A beautiful flower in a garden of dead roses,
A breath of hope in a façade of doom
A sweet fragrance among an air of foul smell
A spring of life in a flood of death,
A wonderful cure among a horrid disease,
A glimmer of order in a sea of unrest
A resplendent gem of glory among a trove of disgrace
A single savior for the whole of human race
A beautiful diamond in a dismal chunk of coal
A noble thief returning an item that he stole
A glimmer of significance in a meaningless world
It is all the glories of life, thrown open and unfurled
For hope has the power to banish despair,
and cast away fears as if they were nothing but dust
For the glittering metal can always be seen under the harsh sheets of rust...
