When exploring a nearby forest, I noticed something interesting. There was a patch of dead wildflowers, but within that patch there was life: a small white flower. I continued to observe the dead patch until I came to a new patch. This patch however, was full of life and contained an abundance of the same white flower that I had seen earlier… Out of that death, came life. Something about that just gave me a little boost of hope for the times we’re living in.

HOPE

Despite all our differences, there’s one thing that we all crave:

Hope

Hope is what we crave and that will never change

Sometimes we feel like we’ve been pushed to our limits

“I can’t go on, I can’t keep living like this.”

These words will ring loud and clear in our heads

But we must still hang on to that hope

That hope that the pain will go away

That hope that you will get that job

That hope that one day, you’ll rise to the top

And everything will be ok

Right now, we look up and all we see is darkness

We all feel as if we’re stuck in a perpetual tunnel

Without the dimmest of lights to accompany us

I assure you that things will get better

But they will get worse first

Never let go of that hope

Hope is what we crave

Hope is what we need
