When Hope Fades Away

Some might ask me, what is hope?
I tell them, hope is the motivation
to experience life at it's highest potential.
for hope has upheld me in all the pain that I been through.
when the world says, quit, throw in the towel, submit to defeat,
Hope's word's speak soft-ly to my heart saying, 'con-tin-ue.'
Hope says, 'you can make it, the pain you can take it;
It comes to make you tougher;
for you'll never really know how strong you really are untill you suffer.'
So I continue to stand still dispelling fear.
Holding on to God's unchanging hand like Jacob did;
Understanding that he is the author of my salvation.
Because when hope in him fades away,
the light of life becomes dim, like when day fades into midnight
to slowly usher in the moonlight.
Therefore the vibrant colors of Gods Artistry
can only be seen in black in white.
such a fright-ful dreary day, when hope fades away
because hearts begin to break
Therefore, eyes create rivers;
and those rivers drown pillows
Because when hope fades and is placed in the grave
the dreams of man become faithless widows
who gave birth to children of despair.
i know it's sad to say and probably even worst to hear
but this is what happens when hope..... fades....... away.
