Only Hope

Only hope can save us now,
In this short life so little time it allows,
Only hope can rekindle lost love,
And make the pains of the past go unspoken-of,
Only hope can set us free,
During these times of forgotten glee,
Only hope can guide in the dark,
On time when we wish to be on a lark,
Only hope can save us from this pitiful life,
Of endless unnerving strife,
The only thing that will help us cope,
Is in the end all we have is hope...
