Hope. Oh Hope

Hope
what are you?
are you what allows me to cry
or the one who regroups me
Hope
Oh hope was it you
who kept me going the other day
for a better tomorrow
Hope
which one are you
the strength in me
or the holding on
without giving up
Oh hope
was that you the other night
when I could not fall asleep
you held me in your arms through the night
Hope
was it you today
when I was unsure of myself
you stayed with me until the beauty of certainty dawned on me
Oh hope
are you my reminder
when I forget
Hope
which one are you
the courage to face tomorrow
or the triumph that I made it through another day
Oh hope
are you what holds me
when all else falls through
or the one who lets it all fall apart
for it to fall back together
Hope
which one are you
the one I cry to
or the one who wipes my tears
Oh hope
are you the one who reminds me it will turn out right
or the one who makes everything alright
Hope
which one are you
the guardian angel
or the true friend
Oh hope
are you the one who lifts my heart up when am sad
or the one who tells the jokes so I can stay happy
Hope
what are you
the singing
or dancing
or both
Oh hope
are you the one who lit up the skies last night
or the one who shed light upon my path
Hope
which one are you
the prayer answered
or the one kneeling by the bedside in prayer
Oh hope
was it you
you who provided when I was convinced I'd go without
or the one who made a way
Hope
which one are you
the one set of footprints in the sand
that carries me when I cannot walk
or the extra set of footprints
that walks with me all the while
Hope
which one are you
my cry for help
or the help that comes to me
Oh hope
are you what finds me when am lost
or the one who has me wait when I return before I find myself
Hope
which one are you
what are you
are you the one
oh hope
hope
