Hope is a presence at dawn

Shining like the sun’s first light

It’s a tender voice spilled as water

Across a dry patched landscape

And drunk down by greedy life

It’s words sent like lifeboats

Unsought but delivered nonetheless

Hope is a face in silhouette

Framed by the glow of gold

And wishing you well at daybreak

Hope is a small kiss goodbye

Hope is a small kiss hello
