Why we hope

Hope can make you cry

Hope can do nothing but remind you of pain 

hope dies so quickly

But we all continue to hope

Just for a little joy

even if it is gone and leaves heartache

Just for a little joy

for a little while

Everyone wants to believe 

In some kind of miracle

Everyone clings on something

To keep steady

Even if its just for a little while

so  they cling to hope

Even though they know it will die

they cling to hope

they cling on something 

even if its false

or just for a moment

That little amount of temporary joy

That little amount of temporary strength

That is why we hope

Author's Note

I know that it needs a little fixing but I tried to combined two poems about hope that I wrote two years ago.
