Hope

I have one word for you
A word that changes things
A word that means so much more
It blinds people to every shadow
It opens up our deepest fears
It questions the substance of faith
It is the backbone of trust

I have a word for you
Written down, carved into
Printed and stamped
Covered by so many languages
Means so many things
It is the ray of sunshine
For those that know no other light

I have one word for you
Some of us are frightened by it
Yet others strive to give up
The world to experience it
And then there are others
Who know little of it
Or understand the value of it

I have one word for you ...
