Things may be bad sometimes and to some may seem hopeless,
please just let me accept my life in reality and love my life
anyway.
I'm asking you to try not to steal what keeps me going...Hope.
There are those times that I am quite aware of how bad things
are,
those temporary moments when I can't see through my streaming
tears,
But I am begging you to let me hold on to what I need...Hope.
Please don't ever say you could not stand to live the life that I
have,
you couldn't possibly know unless my life were the life you were
living.
I'm asking you to let me have what I need for the moment...Hope.
Don't make false promises or false dreams, but let me have my
dreams.
Please don't as a professional, ever say there are no more
answers or help,
I am pleading with you to allow me the luxury I need most...Hope.
Always there are more answers, it may just be you without those
answers.
When you make these type of remarks, it makes it hard to hold on
to my hope.
I am telling you that all patients need that one joint
component...Hope.
If you haven't walked in someone else's shoes, don't be to quick
to judge.
All of us at times face adversity, just some have to live with it
all the time.
We are somehow able to find strength and endurance
through...Hope.
Don't ever say we will amount to nothing or get nowhere
meaningful in this life,
as long as we can live, we can still give to someone who needs
what we have.
In giving to others the survival route we have learned we
have...Hope.
No matter how grave the situation or how serious the medical
problem,
remember that miracles and things not quite understood by man
happen.
Don't ever be so cruel and heartless as to take away
someone's...Hope.
