If you can look at the sunset and smile, then you still have hope.
If you can find beauty in the colours of a small flower, then you still have hope.
If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly, then you still have hope.
If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in wonder, then you still have hope.
If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings a pleasant surprise, then you still have hope.
If you can look to the past and smile, then you still have hope.
Hope is such a marvellous thing.
It bends, it twists, it sometimes hides, but it will never break.
It sustains us when nothing else can.
It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead, when we tell ourselves we’d rather give in.
Hope puts a smile on our face when the heart cannot manage.
Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see it.
Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused of the direction.
Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished and nurtured, and something that will refresh us in return.
