Pray for Hope

Hope is our strongest tool in life; stronger than faith itself Or any other implement that may adore our life.

So death-end and so blind would be the alley where we grope, Unless along the path of life we always had some hope.

It is a gift from God to us while we are on earth, Our inspiration constantly to be of better worth.

Without it we would walk with death, despair, defeat and fear And pass the sign, "Abandon hope ...All you who enter here."

So let us pray to God that we make keep our hope alive And give His grace to reach the goals for which our souls would strive.
