The Great Gift Of Hope Poem by Francis Duggan

Your worth as a person you often do doubt
And sometimes you do wonder what's life all about
But for a better future to hope you do cling
The great gift of hope is a wonderful thing
Though you feel forsaken by the lucky gods
You keep battling on against all of the odds
For failure in your life you do not have a plan
Hope does spring eternal in the positive man
You never tell yourself that life is unfair
Or wave the white flag in the face of despair
To improve your lot in life you have the need
Those who try hard for success eventually succeed
The sad songs of failure you refuse to sing
The great gift of hope is a wonderful thing.
