Hope

I wish there was a way to describe in words all that the word "hope" entails. For me it's not just a word, or an expression; it goes deeper than that. It's like peace in that you know that things will work out, but it's more than that...because there is suspense and excitement: the unknown. I don't really understand everything that the word means, but I know I both need and have it...and it's part of why I'm alive today.
