Hope seeks change
Pregnant with possibility,
Begs for peace to end hostility.
Hope builds a home in our past;
Anchors memories of life,
We wish would last.
Hope endures danger
When chaos threatens,
Sustains recovery
When disasters strike.
Hope seeks an Inn strangers can
Stay in. Dreams favorable futures,
Like the one Mary prayed hard
For her son to dwell in.
Hope stakes claim to our horizon
As the future births meaning,
Suffers long dark nights to bring
Truth to light.
When born in Bethlehem one cold morn,
Love wore winter gloves in perfect form
To keep hope safe and warm.
Infinite hope will bear good fruit in spring
And the truth will be known to humanity.
As eternal love incarnates life,
The divine welcomes humans as kin.
