Hold onto Hope

I cling to hope, hold it dear to me,
Treasured as a tree hold for rain
And as my heart regards you.
I hold to hope, that believes
Though the time uncertain,
My eyes will again see who my heart feels.
I hold onto hope, that knows
Even do my dreams hear no place
Within the heart I reach for,
Still where I feel you I have
Some part of your existence.
Until it cannot, hope guides me,
The hope of feeling your heart
Beating close to mine.
