Hope is that intangible everything
The reason to live and go on
Through all the hard times
Past all the pain
To grow more fully into ourselves
Reaching out for our dreams
It is the spring that sustains us
Through life and past death
Flowing eternally our strength
The backbone of the soul
Holding us upright and unwavering
Hope is the blood that courses through the spirit
And makes us brave enough to seek to be whole
C. Nichols
