It Might Be Hope

You do your work the best that you can
you put one foot in front of the other
life comes in waves and makes it’s demands
you hold on as well as your able
You’ve been here for a long long time
Hope has a way of turning it’s face to you
just when you least expect it you walk in a room
you look out a window
and something there leaves you breathless
you say to yourself
it’s been a while since I felt this
but it feels like it might be hope
It’s hard to recall what blew out the flame
it’s been dark since you can remember
you talk it all through to find it a name
as days go on by without number
You’ve been here for a long long time
Hope has a way of turning it’s face to you
just when you least expect it you walk in a room
you look out a window
and something there leaves you breathless
you say to yourself
it’s been a while since I felt this
but it feels like it might be hop
