That is Hope

When you're unhappy and sad,

Feel nothing is going to plan,

Think of the fragrance of a fresh rose bloom

And all will be well

That is hope.

When you're depressed and devitalised,

Feel the world is crumbling round you, 

Think of the sweet song of the nightingale 

And all will bewell

That is hope.

When you're melancholy and  somber,

Feel that there is no way out of this pall of gloom,

Think of the merry laughter of a baby

And all will be well

That is hope.

When you're castdown and blue,

Feel the noose is choking you,

Think of the love and blessings of your parents 

And all will be well 

That is hope.
