What gives me hope is the knowledge that nothing in the universe is static; everything is on the move, and change is the law of nature. Change is essential for the survival of life on the planet. Belief in change gives hope.

In good times, hope is that they will last; in bad times, hope is that they will change. Hope is that disappointments are part of life and they too shall pass.

To accept the unknown, to reasonably prepare for it, and to expect positive outcome; that is hope.

Every night we go to bed, without any assurance of being alive the next morning, but still we set the alarms to wake up; that is Hope!

When I wrote these lines many years back, it was hope, which by God’s grace, is being fulfilled.

‘We held your hand, when you were small,

And taught you, how to walk!

So that one day, when we are old,

You will hold our hand, and support us,

With our faltering walk!’
