Espoir

When the night grows to dawn and I sit alone I hope.
I hope.
When my life flashes by and I seem to fly I hope.
I hope.
When I've learned that it's done and the time has come I hope.
I hope.
When the casket gets brought down the isle with care I hope.
I hope.
You can take away my every part, my every thought, my every word.
But you cannot and you will not diminish, not even begin to diminish my hope.
My Hope.
