Rebirth

Hope

Changes you.

You can see it

In faces and demeanors.

It makes you taller, brighter, healthier

It is a light 

When you are traveling through pitch black

Hope is all around us.

In humans and nature

In birth, in the sunrise, in cultures passed down.

It's in leaves that change color

And caterpillars that turn into butterflies.

I see hope all around 

When the world tells us

There's a reason to keep going.

Most of all,

Hope is

Power.

The power to push on

When all you want to do

Is stop.

To share your reason for believing

In the good in the world

Is to give another

The power to believe,

The power to create instead of destroy.

I choose to believe

That everything is awesome

Because it could mean

That one day it will be true.
