hope is

[mine]

[[and i apologize for my obscene overuse of the word 'free']]

hope is shining, gleaming, brightly

hope is coming fast and free,

hope is streaming like the sun,

it's here for all the world to see.

hope is full and making converts

to the way of righteousness

the cosmic love of optimism-

easing guilt, erasing stress.

hope is like a noonday morning.

hope is like the scorching rain.

elusive; absurdly, it's bright but it's lovely

hope is the ultimate, paramount gain.
