Hope’s Light

When all your dreams seem too far away
I gift you the stars to light your way
For when the night seems to close around
And you can’t hear hope in any sound
You might imagine that it has passed on by
But you would be wrong, hope doesn’t die
Its there lift your eyes and look ahead
Seek out your dreams for hope isn’t dead

When all your plans seem to fall apart
I gift you the touch of a loving heart
For when you lose faith in what you do
Life seems too hard you can’t fight through
The pain and anguish seem all that’s real
And almost all that your soul can feel
But hear these words and take heed
Faith and conviction are all you need

When all your paths seem to lead nowhere
I gift you vision that you’ll know I’m there
For when your roads have led you awry
And you want to stop and hopelessly cry
Know that whatever your fate I’ll aid you
I’ll walk your paths I’ll see you through
There’s hope and light see it shining bright
Look to the future where you see faith’s light

When all your dreams seem to lose their light
I gift you my eyes to look with hope’s sight

Marsha



Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold
