Hope lives in us all
It is a feeling, an aura and a part of every living being
It lives in the eyes of everyone from newborns to the elderly
The weary eyes of church mothers to the graceful feet of dancers,
Hope is an aspect of us all.
Hope brings the rawest and most heartfelt actions and feelings from the depth of our characters.
It takes the differences and issues we all may have, and leads us to see past them and know that we’re all human.
Hope gives second chances or an opportunity for change.
Reuniting those who have been separated by the wiles of hate and defying the norms of negativity and unhappiness.
The phenomenon known as hope leads us to persevere to a brighter day for future generations.
Hope causes us to know and strive towards making the world a better place and empower those who need it most in society today.
Hope crushes the fear that lives in our hearts and minds.
It provides the calm reassurance of knowing everything will work out to the advantage of those who do what is right.
Although hope surrounds us all, it is sometimes drowned by the fear it tries to combat.
The fear that we have can often seem like a mountain of pain and sorrow
It is pivotal the we remember that fear is false evidence appearing real
And if we let the things we fear deep in our hearts determine our actions,
What will be of the world?
If fear and hatred drive our desire for earthly possessions and money and power
The dreams that we all once shared will be replaced by our wants to turn on each other.
What will happen to “I Have a dream”?
