DO NOT FORGET TO HOPE - by John McLeod

DO  NOT  FORGET  TO  HOPE         by  John McLeod  Do not forget to hope Though Time spins fleeting on There is a place for all To view the promised dawn When Life's full test have run Like rivers to the sea Do not forget to hope And happy be. Do not forget to hope For even when one's life Seems burdened down with care And melancholy strife Remember how the gulls Soar beautiful and free? Do not forget to hope And happy be. Do not forget to hope Nor rise above the gloom All colours, as they say, Are needed on Life's Loom, And 'dark before the dawn' Is truth that all may see? Do not forget to hope And happy be.
