In the dark of night, a small light glows
Then it gradually begins to grow
It joins with other lights across the land
From timid and small to big and grand
It takes the darkness and pulls it away
Then hides it in the land of yesterday
The name of this light is hope.
The home-made gift from when you were young
From many, when your life had just begun
The thing that makes the troublesome world turn
The time when you first realise and truly learn
That everything around is amazing and great
The first time you venture through the rose covered gate
This is the inspiration of love.
The combination of all this and more
And you know that there is always more in store
The reason that we live at all
This is the thing we like to call....
Family
