Hope
Next
Written by Judy Sherrill
Are you bold with your thoughts, or timid and shy
Do you have the time, or just let it go by
Do you live for tomorrow or live for the day
Do you reach for your dreams, or chase them away
Do you kiss your pillow, or just go to sleep
Do you shrug the covers, or burrow down deep
Do you sleep on the left, or sleep on the right
Do you have trouble resting, or sleep through the night
Do you know true love, or accept what is there
Do you know true passion, or not really care
Are you looking for bliss, or just look to get by
Are you happy in love or does love make you cry
Do you love yourself, or just try to survive
Do you often feel blue, or more often alive
Are you hungry for joy, or settle content
When youve just made love, are you breathless and spent
Do you open your heart and let in the sun
Do you open your mind or turn tail and run
Are you present in life or bowed numb in defeat
Inspired by challenge or scorched from the heat
As you go through this life can you feel its embrace
Are you washed in the warmth of divine love and grace
As the stress overwhelms and you think you cant cope
Can you see the bright Angels that pass along hope
