Never Let Go of Hope
Poet: Jancarl Campi
One day
you will see
that it all
has finally come together.
What you have
always wished for
has finally come to be.
You will look back
and laugh at what has passed
and you will ask yourself,
"How did I get through all of that?"
Just
never let go of hope.
Just
never quit dreaming.
And
never let love
depart from your life.

Hope
Poet: Max Ehrmann
Deny me all the good of earth —
All joy and soul-rebounding mirth,
All wealth and rank and love's great days;
But leave one thing by which to cope
With ebbing life's dim evening rays —
Leave me but hope.

Hope Is The Thing With Feathers
A Famous Poem by Emily Dickinson
"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I've heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

No Nation Can Hope
Poet: Roy L. Smith
No nation can hope -
For prosperity so long as millions are denied opportunity.
For peace that does not cultivate the goodwill of other nations.
For honor which does not respect other nation's honor.
For safety which does not deal openly with other nations.
For international respect which does not respect international opinion.
For profitable trade which undertakes to get all the profits.
For permanence which defies the moral order of the universe.

Don't Let The Song Go Our Of Your Life
Poet: Kate R. Stiles
Don't let the song go out of your life;
Though it chance sometimes to flow
In a minor strain, it will blend again
With the major tone, you know.
What though shadows rise to obscure life's skies,
And hide for a time the sun;
They sooner will lift, and reveal the rift,
If you let the melody run.
Don't let the song go out of your life;
Ah! it never would need to go.
If with thought more true and a broader view
We looked at this life below.
Oh! Why should we moan that life's springtime has flown,
Or sigh for the fair summer time?
The autumn hath days filled with paeans of praise.
And the winter hath bells that chime.

Positive Hope
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2020
We can lose many things in life
We may find we have had our share of strife
But the one thing you never want to loose
Is your hope, you get to choose.
You can stay focused on the negative today
You can blame others in every way
But at the end of it all,
Our hope will prevent us from a fall.
You see focusing on things will get better
Will keep our lives centered
To look forward with positive hope
Rather than sit around and mope.

The Rainy Day
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the moldering past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.
-
Every Day
Poet: Unknown
Every day is a fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new;
You who are weary of sorrow and sinning.
Here is a beautiful hope for you;
A hope for me and a hope for you.
-
Good Time Comin'
Poet Unknown
Thank the Lord,
If today has sorrow
We can live in hope
Of a bright tomorrow!
And still find peace
When the storm is hummin',
An' sweet release
In the good time comin'!
-
Hope Is Better
Poet: Unknown
Never go gloomy, man with a mind,
Hope is a better companion than fear;
Providence, ever benignant and kind,
Gives with a smile what you take with a tear;
All will be right,
Look to the light.
Morning was ever the daughter of night;
All that was black will be all that is bright,
Cheerily, cheerily, then cheer up.
Many a foe is a friend in disguise,
Many a trouble a blessing most true,
Helping the heart to be happy and wise,
With love ever precious and joys ever new.
Stand in the van,
Strike like a man!
This is the bravest and cleverest plan;
Trusting in God while you do what you can.
Cheerily, cheerily, then cheer up.
-
Singing Through The Rain
Poet: Luella Clark
O Robin, singing through the rain,
How welcome is thy clear refrain,
The tempest trying all in vain
To cheat thee of thy song!
What cheerfulness, by pain unspent.
What gladness born of calm content.
Unto thy strain belong.
Let sinking hearts, taught by thy strain,
Learn, too, to triumph over pain.
And, like thee, singing in the rain
A song of hope and cheer.
-
Sunny Soul
Poet: M. A. Kidder
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green, and the flowers are bright.
Though the wintry storm prevaileth.
-
Hope Never Slumbers Long
Poet: Anna J. Granniss
Not even Hope can always soar and sing;
Sometimes she needs must rest a willing wing.
And wait in midst of her glad carolling.
Faint not, dear heart, though she rest over night -
Her wings are swifter than the wings of light;
They're gaining strength for more enduring flight.
Fret not because her voice is sometimes still;
It may be catching some new lilt or thrill;
She'll sing again, all of her own sweet will.
Perhaps when worn with pain, in darkened room.
Denied the light, the beauty, and the bloom,
You'll see a little rift within the gloom;
Then hear a stir, as of unfolding wings;
And low, sweet notes, as one who tries the strings
In tender prelude just before he sings.
And wakened Hope, grown vigorous and strong.
Will then surprise the silence with a song -
Keep a brave heart, Hope never slumbers long.
-
Do Something
Poet: Lucy Larcom
If the world seems cool to you,
Kindle fires to warm it!
Let their comfort hide from you
Winters that deform it.
Hearts as frozen as your own
To that radiance gather;
You will soon forget to moan,
"Ah! the cheerless weather! "
If the world's a "vale of tears,"
Smile till rainbows span it;
Breathe the love that life endears
Clear from clouds to fan it.
Of your gladness lend a gleam
Unto souls that shiver;
Show them how dark sorrow's stream
Blends with hope's bright river.
