Hope

Amidst the turmoil
Of the daily struggle
To survive,
There is a deep, abiding
Reverence for life,
And hope is always there,
Though fate may
Often be unfair,
We always dream
Of better days,
When sunny times
Will chase the grays,
And we will our world
In peaceful harmony embrace,
Through quiet, happy times,
With caring love and grace.
