Stephanie J. DeMartino - Hope

They say hope dies last
I believe this to be true
When I have nothing left to believe in
Hope gives me the courage to hold on
Giving me the strength that I didn't know I had
Hope picks me up so I can continue on
It fills me with its warmth
And encircles me with its safety
Keeping me strong in times of despair
And just when I think I'm all alone
In the end Hope will be there
