Hope is the lighthouse in the turbulent water,
Barely visible in the crashing waves.
Hope keeps a smile on the sailor's daughter,
Looking forward to better days.

Every time he goes out to sea,
He's comforted by his wife's smiling face,
As she focuses on hope, ignores the possiblilty,
Of forever losing his warm embrace.

Hope keeps this family strong,
Centered around gifts from above.
It keeps them pushing on,
Contemplating life and love.
