Hope Springs Eternal
My mother used to say
When all else is gone
We still have today
All we really have
All we really need
Is found in this day alone
In presence we are freed
Free to be all we can
To focus on this day
On the eternal scheme of things
To live to love to pray
To live and walk with God
To love all those we meet
To pray with all humility
Live love pray complete
Seeking justice for the poor
Kindness for our kin
Walking humbly with our God
Integrity within
What more can we hope for
What more can there be
To live and laugh and love
Today’s the best you see
Yesterday’s a cancelled check
Tomorrow’s an unwritten journal
Today is all we really have
Be glad, hope springs eternal
