Hope Stay With Me


Hope, such a simple word.

But a word that can mean so much.

Helps us get out of bed, helps us get it right in our head.

Gives us motivation, helps us feel excitation.

When hope is gone, why should we go on?

What will be at the end of that tunnel?

Without hope, it will not matter if we find success or failure.

Hope keeps us going, keeps us wanting to go on and on and on.

When hope is gone there is no forward movement.  Why should there be?

Hope, I beg you, stay with me.
