Hope

I choose to find hope,

Hope in the transitions

That propel our country forward

To something more.

I choose to find hope,

Hope in this people that

Can still come together

Within all these fears

That chase us toward different sides.

I choose to find hope,

Hope in lengthening days

That slowly overtake

This past winter’s night.

I choose to find hope,

Hope in earth’s rotation

That brings about winds of change

And uses the evening chill

To bring us closer to together —

To keep us reaching for what is right.

I choose to find hope,

Hope for a future

That sees these seeds of faith

Grow larger than our past fights,

That sees these signs of renewal

Grow beyond what we can imagine in just one life.

I choose to find hope.
