One word
One single ray
And a speck of blue in a cloudy sky
Saying it's going to be okay
A drop of rain
Falling down to the ground
Answering a silent cry to be released from pain
A tiny bud
Blossoms into a flower;
A small sapling sprouting in the mud
To take the place of its elder
A mother's pearl
Sparkling in the sand
And example in this world
That sometimes you need to take a stand
A mended heart
Teaching the power of healing,
That lost love can leave a mark
And that it takes time sealing
A shooting star
Flashing across a dark night sky
Proving that a dream can go far
In a blink of an eye
It's one word
That brings joy and relief
One word that can spread across a nation
And four letters that can diminish grief
It's not easily found
But can help a desperate soul cope
Its limits are never bound
Cause the word that starts it all is hope
