Hope. What is hope?

Some may say hope can be defined as a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.

Others may see it as excuse to keep doing something that makes no sense.

But, there are some that define hope as something else,
something far different for that of expectation

You see, hope is not a physical substance that can be obtained

It is earned

It is earned through work, hard work
It is earned through tears, many tears
It is earned though love, unending love

For me, I see hope as the light at the end of the tunnel
But I also see it as the preacher that pays me my last respects

Its the cool breeze that made us hold each other close that day on the pear
But its also the wind that blew the leaves from trees

But yet, still here you and I remain
Hoping for the future
Hoping that you and I will work

But my dear, maybe its time to give up on hope
Maybe its time to start going on something a little more prevalent

We shoot for the stars
why not dream like them eh?

Our heads are in the clouds already,
and Alpha Centauri is only but  4.37 light years away :)

Now ill ask you again, what is hope? You tell me
