when the promises of
all those we trust
let us down in the end,
hope always keeps its
end of the bargain.
when the ones we believe
are the role models we
have been looking for
shatter our illusions by
the foolish choices they make,
hope continues to live the
sort of life which seems
so boring, yet faithful.
when the people we gave
our very hearts to take them
and dash them against
the rocks of cruelty,
hope stays true to the vows
it made to us so long ago.
