When hope seeks comfort in despair,

In solitude I meet you there.

When hope perfumes the negative,

Our burden is the more to give.

But without hope there is no life,

No dagger to assault our strife.

Hope is the fire of our souls,

In earthbound struggle with our goals.

This is my my gift to all those here,

With whom I join, in hopeful cheer.

Sincere best wishes, 'Sinbob'.
