Hope is a sacred bird
It is not uncommon
To lose sight of this marvel of life
And stare deep into the belly of the abyss
It is not a beautiful feeling to lose hope
Hope is a sacred bird that is perched on the fabric
of our being
It is not only here to provide comfort
It is here to guide us into the Light
When everything else seems to disappear
Hope is the only source of the everlasting life
It is a great mystery but yet it is the only real
substance
Capable of cleansing the soul of any traces of
uncertainty
Dressing it with beauty, peace and love
Hope is an everlasting source of happiness
It gives life its beautiful smile
And radiant garment
Hope is a sacred bird that roams the skies of
eternity
Giving us a clear view into who we are
A beautiful place, a spiritual garden and an
inspirational moment
Hope is forever present, given to us as a gift
It nourishes our spirit, emptying our being of the
vile and toxic stuff
It is one of the most effective spiritual forces
The others are Faith and Love
The trio makes life a bearable experience
Faith, Hope and Love are the true lighthouse
To keep us away from danger and to guide us home
Let us all submerge ourselves in this sacred
knowledge
So that we may know the Truth
