If you can look at the sunset and smile, then you can have hope
If you can find beauty in the colors of a flower, then you still have hope
If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly, then you still have hope
If the smile of a child can still warm your heart, then you still have hope
If you can see the good in other people, then you still have hope
If the rain falling on a rooftop can still lull you to sleep, then you still have hope
If the soft fur of a beloved pet still feels pleasant under your fingertips, then you still have hope
If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism, then you still have hope
If you give people the benefit of the doubt, then you still have hope
If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that have touched your life, then you still have hope
If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings a pleasant surprise, then you still have hope
If the suffering of others still fills you with pain and frustration, then you still have hope
If you refuse to let a friendship die or accept that it must end, then you still have hope
If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and reflection, then you still have hope
If you still watch love stories or want the endings to be happy, then you still have hope
If you can look to the past and smile, then you still have hope
If, when faced with the bad, when told everything is futile and you can look up and end the conversation with the phrase..."yeah...but..", then you still have hope
Hope is such a marvelous thing. It bends, it twists, it sometimes hides, but rarely does it break It sustains us when nothing else can; It gives us reason to continue And courage to move ahead when we tell ourselves we'd rather give in
Hope puts a smile on our face when the heart cannot manage
Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see it
Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused of the direction
Hope is a wonderful thing; Something to be cherished and nurtured And something that will refresh us in return And it can be found in each of us It can bring light into the darkest of places
Never Lose Hope
