.
Good and evil,
God and the devil,
Hope and despair.
In our need to survive
Hope keeps us alive;
As the cool waters flow
Hope keeps us afloat
In the sea(-son) of life.
Hope is frail, pale,
A shadow without substance,
Hollow as an empty bowl
Until, filled with God’s promise,
Trust is born in our soul.

When Faith comes to work for you, Hope is no longer needed and has to go and find another position!
