Eternal

The tender bud of hope eternal blooms,
reopening its wonder to our eyes.
The loss of hope occurs when one assumes
the blossom is a bramble in disguise.

Hope can spring eternally, it's true,
but nourishment, essential to its term,
must quickly be applied or hope's debut
will wither like an apple with a worm.

True love is the eternal hope of man.
therein he places all his life in trust,
and if you question why he thinks he can
the answer is, of course, because he must.

So we may fear we've lost a love we need
yet trust that there will be another seed.

The tender bud of hope eternal blooms,

reopening its wonder to our eyes.

The loss of hope occurs when one assumes

the blossom is a bramble in disguise.

Hope can spring eternally, it's true,

but nourishment, essential to its term,

must quickly be applied or hope's debut

will wither like an apple with a worm.

True love is the eternal hope of man.

for this he'll place his heart and soul in trust,

and if you question why he thinks he can

the answer is, of course, because he must.

Thus we may fear we'll lose a love we need

yet trust that there will be another seed.
