A hope without life
Is a dying caterpillar
Hoping to transform
Into a magnificent winged creature
A life full of hope
Is an ugly bulb of an Easter Lily

That grows so unhurriedly
T h a t g r w s s o n h u r i d l
For years it hopes and never mopes
A life full of hope
Is the legendary phoenix that bursts into flames
Rising after a devastation
Knowing life can be regained
A life full of hope

Is the darkness of the dawn

That awaits the yellow burst of the sun
To feel its warmth before it’s gone
A life full of hope
Is a swallow amidst the ocean of sand
In search for a speck of blue
To send its great thirst to an end

Hoping but not living gives you no tool
So live this life and be hopelessly hopeful
