Hope is a yellow flower growing in the cracks of a sidewalk
Hope is a flag waving in the wind in a golden sunrise

Hope is opening a letter with an Ivy League school crest on the envelope
Hope is the last raffle ticket you haven't yet scratched
It's the crack of light that shines across a dusty room, giving renewal and reinvigoration
Hope is the words you whisper to yourself as you watch the first star appear in the sky: "Maybe, just maybe…"
