Hope Springs Eternal
Hope springs eternal
Like a streak of light
That pierces through the darkness
Of despair…
Hope springs eternal
Like a flower
Growing through a crack
In the concrete…
Hope springs eternal
Like an ember of glowing coal
Glowing through the deadness
Of the ashes…
Hope springs eternal
Like a small, encouraging whisper
Cutting through the silence
That follows failure…

Cliches On Hope
Always there shall be
a Glimmer of hope
God willing
(and the creek don't rise)
Grasping at straws
you say
Hope against hope
you say again
Hope springs eternal
you show them how
Keep you fringers crossed
you walk and try to see the
Light at the end of the tunnel
you wish
On a wing and a prayer
and you whisper to
Pin our hopes on
that man
Shooting for the moon
and that woman
Wish upon a star

Hope.
Hope is the sweet, sweet scent
of flowers in the morning
Hope is the cool gentle breeze
on a warm summer's day
Hope is the knowledge of stability
from a son in mourning
Hope is the bright shining light
keeping darkness at bay
Hope is the calming warmth
during a cold winter
Hope is the determination
of an athelete on the track
Hope is the potential
of a newborn baby
Hope is the love
between you and me
Hope springs eternal

Hope Springs Eternal
(graham russell)
Pictures of you race across my mind
Filling all the space there is to find
Melting loves own ice that lay so frozen
I give that sacrifice for feeling chosen
So if I face another day without you next to me
Ill lock you in my mind and wish away the key
(chorus)
Hope springs eternal when your near
All the passion reappears
All emotions seems so strong
Hope springs eternal thru your eyes
Draws me closer to your side
And keeps me there where I belong
Given back the trust that was so fleeting
Captured by the one my heart was seeking
Taken to my destinys horizon
Searching for the moon we see it rising
And in the silence of the night, I hold you next to me
Feeling dreams take flight, they set the spirit free
(repeat chorus)

I Love The Word Hope
I love the word hope 'tis a great word it keeps reminding you when you are down
That in many ways you are lucky you are not the worst off in the town
Compared to some you are quite lucky and though you may not be one of the privileged few
There's hope and comfort in the thought that many are worse off than you.
I love the word hope it seems positive to hope for the good days ahead
For life for you is scarce worth living if the hope in your heart it is dead
To hope for a better tomorrow is the thing that keeps us keeping on
For you do not have much to live for if hope out of your life is gone.
I love the word hope it's uplifting for those who are feeling quite low
For as they say hope springs eternal and out of hope success can grow
And one can only see a dark future for one who is struggling to cope
If that person has lost the great gift the gift that we all know as hope.
I love the word hope it's a great gift those who have it in them have fight
They keep on going through the dark tunnel till finally they reach the light
And when you retain hope through your hard days you are telling the World I'm alive
For without it life on you much harder and you find it so hard to survive.

The Only One
You're the only one. It is true.
I could never love anyone but you.
When in despair I look to you.
Hope eternal springs,
with all the joys you bring.
All this splendoer you make me feel.
The fact you're here is so surreal.
There is no other.
You're the only one.
I hope you believe I'm the one.
Playing the field is over and done.
When you know you've found the one.
I never feel the need to frown.
When the one I needs around.
Nothingelse could take the place.
Of this picture perfect face.
Together we'll build a speacial place.
To spend such endless blissful days.
The only one will do for life.
I take thee now as my wife.
To have and hold. Forever cherish.
Never seeing a single blemish.
I never imagined this day would come.
Eternally now with my only one.

Never Give Up On Hope
Never give up on hope never give up who knows what tomorrow will bring
Keep on hoping for a happier future for hope is a marvellous thing
Lady luck she may smile on you good things come to those who wait
Who knows in the not distant future you may have cause to celebrate
A first division win in tattslotto or some other unexpected windfall
Life does have it's good and it's hard times and it's good and bad memories to recall
Never give up on hope always keep on hoping your good times for you may be ahead
You cannot hold much hope for the future if hope in you is all but dead
If you succumb to feelings of negativity the universe out there you do tell
That you are happy with the hard life and you accept an earthly hell
Never give up on hope for hope springs eternal the quitter cannot hope to succeed
But if hope in you is ever present it will serve you in your time of need
So never give up on hope tomorrow well may be better and the good times for you may be ahead
You do not have much of a future if hope in you is all but dead.

Love Somebody
Always and forever is forever young
Your shadow on the pavement
The dark side of the sun
Gotta dream the dream all over
And sleep here tight
You dont wanna sing the blues
In black and white
And its hope that springs eternal for everyone
If it aint broken break it or the damage done
Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Theres just no pleasing me
Trying to love somebody
Just want to love somebody right now
Baby lay your love on me
Violet in the rainbow just melt away
Theres not enough minutes in the hour
Or hours in the day
The song played in a circle that never skips a beat
The stranger in a country that I have yet to meet
And its hope that springs eternal for everyone
Got a lifetime in a second oh the damage done
Trying to love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Guess theres just no pleasing me
I want to love somebody
Just want to love somebody right now
Baby lay your love on me
Itll come in your sweet time, lord
I just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind, lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love, only love, will set you free
I wanna love somebody
Wanna love somebody right now
Theres just no pleasing me
I wanna love somebody
Just wanna love somebody right now
Lay lay, lay your love on me
Itll come in your sweet time, lord
I just gotta let you in
The blind leading the blind, lord
Getting underneath your skin
I can feel you in the silence
Saying let forever be
Love, only love, will set you free

A Gleam Of Hope
From despair to a gleam of hope
I wrote this poem to dream of hope...........
Hope is a candle in my dark
At night he is the sparkling stars
Hope is my eternal dream
In the day he's my sunbeam
Hope so special - makes my life
He saves my heart from inner strife
Hope is my window opened wide
After my rain - my rainbow guide
Hope is my perfect scenting flower
Against all strife, he gives me power
Hope fights for me heroically
While the whole world opposes me
Hope for my weakness - for my sadness
He is my strength - he is my gladness
Hope knocks my door of loneliness
His key, a sweet smile, gives me gladness
Hope is a mystery an enigma
His soft light mellows his charisma
Hope is the roots of a fruitful tree
He matures me and he makes me free!

Were There Hope
I was never in a league of noble gentlemen
To whom she'd cast polite and flitting smiles,
Only distant hope and dying dreams for me!
Or perhaps descent into a game of wiles
To give a chance of sipping wine on heady nights
With her angelic presence to declare;
Above, an aura playing out hypnotic hues,
And I in awe of blonde cascades of hair.
But no! my tiring soul is sinking in a mire
To haunt me for an age and evermore, for
How could I expect to hold her silken hand
When I am but a soulless ghost of yore?

The Twilight Of My Life
THE TWILIGHT OF MY LIFE
The twilight of my life
May yet bring
A new beginning
in my writing life.
Hope springs eternal
Even when there is no dawn
Death can come any time
In the middle of this song.

Sonnet-Man, Learn From The Birds
When Hope eternal springs in Avian hearts,
That long all day for water, food and shade,
On Summer's noon, with parched throats, body-parts,
Why shouldn't a man's despair similarly fade?
So steadily they chirp from tree to tree;
With hungry mouths and eyes frantic for food;
And Lo, some flowers greet them nectarily,
They beak their drink and speed in jocund mood.
Yet, men alone so wearily remain;
Just panting, cursing sultry, hot weather;
The cloudless sky offers no hope of Rain;
How worse off must it be for the Beggar?
Tho' they die, do Birds, commit suicide?
And all along in Nature, they abide.

Without You
Without you,
These feelins persist,
These persistent feelins,
That which was once gained
That which was soon lost
Others sing while I sigh
Others laugh while I weep
I am robbed of rest
Pain lulls me asleep,
Without you,
These moods prevail,
These prevailin' moods,
The voice, hear and obey
Sister to despair
Monarch of the lost
Come down, my bluster
Swells no more
The stormy rage blows,
Without you,
This gloom pervades,
This pervadin' gloom,
To the depths below
Down I must go
The Dark Muse speaks
Her words; must record
All is forsaken,
Without you,
This despair lingers,
This lingerin' despair,
Eternal Darkness
Eternal chains bind
To infinite pain
Let 'em come, Let 'em
Eternal Shadows
This is what awaits,
Without you,
This hope fadin',
This fadin' hope,
There must be some way
Some kinda way
To work this out
Cause I just can't
Be much longer
Without you, without you

Be Prepared With a Reason
Be prepared in and out of season, to give all men a heartfelt reason,
For all the peace you have within, through the hope you have in Him.
The Hope we have in Jesus Christ, the sure hope of an Eternal Life,
An Eternal Life with Christ our Lord, in Heaven with Him forevermore.
We must point all men to the cross, that place of comfort for the lost,
Where Christ had died for all of us, where all believers put their trust.
Friend, our trust is in The Sacrifice, of God’s Only Son, Jesus Christ,
The Sinless Lamb for sinful men, The Lord who died for all my friend.
Christ gives to believers a New Birth, while we’re still upon this earth,
Upon the moment that we believed, The Holy Spirit we then received.
The Spirit was sent by Jesus Christ, for guiding us in this present life,
To guide us through all the years, until that day when Christ appears.
Friend, all our hope is found in Him, The One who died for all our sin,
And this hope we have my friend, unlike life on earth, shall never end.
When Christ died and rose again, He secured eternal life for all men,
And very soon Believers shall rise, to meet our Lord above the skies.
Friend, our Hope is really a guarantee, that we shall live for Eternity,
The Hope in what we can not see, through Christ will become reality.
And this Hope is for all my friend, for life on this earth is not the end,
Today put your hope in Jesus Christ, and you will inherit Eternal Life.

Hope is the eternal tool in the survival kit for mankind. We hope for a little luck, we hope for a better tomorrow, we hope — although it is an impossible hope — to somehow get out of this world alive. And if we can't and don't, then it is enough to rejoice in our short time here and to remember how much we loved the view.

Psalm 36
v.5-9
L. M.
The perfections and providence of God.
High in the heav'ns, eternal God,
Thy goodness in full glory shines
Thy truth shall break through every cloud
That veils and darkens thy designs.
For ever firm thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of thy hands;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.
Thy providence is kind and large,
Both man and beast thy bounty share;
The whole creation is thy charge,
But saints are thy peculiar care.
My God! how excellent thy grace,
Whence all our hope and comfort springs!
The sons of Adam in distress
Fly to the shadow of thy wings.
From the provisions of thy house
We shall be fed with sweet repast;
There mercy like a river flows,
And brings salvation to our taste.
Life, like a fountain rich and free,
Springs from the presence of the Lord;
And in thy light our souls shall see
The glories promised in thy word.
