Hope
Can a man sit if there is no chair?
Will a man climb if there is no stair?
Is there justice in a world that's not fair?
Without hope, there is naught but despair.

Faith allows hope to become real to one who needs.
Trees are the rewards for the planting of seeds.
Strength is the evidence of work clearing weeds.
Fulfillment comes from satisfying needs.

Absent of hope, can a man find his way?
How hard will he work with no promise of pay?
How long is the night, as you wait the dawn of day?
Man suffers the darkness when light has gone away.

I will patiently wait for my comfort to arrive.
Hoping and praying for as long as I'm alive.
For the goal of approval, I will constantly strive.
Within the glow of acceptance, I will thrive.
