Hope deepened, when we’re young,

Hopes shine bright! Idealism!

Each day dawns raise the sun!

O youthful optimism.

Hopes are dashed, every one.

Shattered. No! Realism.

London fog hides the sun.

Shadows dark. Pessimism.

Dare to hope come next morn.

Deeper hopes found in Him.

Dawn’s light gleams. Hope reborn

His story told. Trust in Him.

Dare to hope, once foregone.

Let praise ring. Trust in Him.

The sun will rise with light’s dawn.

Promises sure! Hope in Him!

Anchored now, hope in God.

Hope now staked. Optimism.

Day by day, small steps trod.

Incrementalism.
