A day without hope is gloomy:

Darkness permeates the heart

and brings doom in mind.

It weakens the spirit

that not even a leaf is light enough for the burdened soul.

When sun’s a bay;

Someone is surely in dismay.

For hope is a thing of light;

The very essence of dawn,

The happy Casper of dusk whispers “tag along.”

In trio with faith and love—

Thou shall not doubt.
