Sometimes when life seems hopeless,we've made wrong choices,or found ourselves in a situation we didn't have any control over, we need to hold on. Help is always on the way
WHEN HOPE IS ALL WE HAVE When hope is all we seem to have With nothing left to spend When all we have is waiting And it seems the day will end. With all you have left to do And all you care about You need to hold on to your life And let go of all the doubt. From early in the morning The day seems no end I hear you calling out to me The road I’m traveling took another bend. I’m holding on to hope You taught me to somehow You promised that you’d love me Some days I wonder how. When hope is all we seem to have I’m learning to hold on I know you’ll show me What to do You have it all planned out I’m learning everyday to Let go of all the doubt. I’m learning Lord that you’re the one I turn to everyday I need to start with a simple plan That’s only just to pray. Written by Kathryn Neff Perry © Copyright 2008 All Rights Reserved.

Some peoples have it harder than we do and I pity them. If they would turn to their maker eachday mabye things would go better too. I don't really know. But fortunately you and I and others on the den do have positive thought and ways and means to be happy and content in our lives and make the most of our days. Good write here, very encouraging. to me. Thanks for it.

Hello Kathryn,

Just read this poem, at this time when my brother has been confirmed on terminal cancer and may die soon, hope is all I really have. (And your prayers.)
