Can't not hope

I can't not hope. I refuse to lose faith that what I have been hoping and praying for all this time will not be realised. I cannot allow myself to be swept away in the undertow of anger, jealousy, hurt, depression and self-pity. I must continue to rely on my faith and hang onto the hope that lights the way down this path...

C.

Whether we be young or old,
Our destiny, our being's heart and home,
Is with infinitude, and only there;
With hope it is, hope that can never die,
Effort and expectation, and desire,
And something evermore about to be. ~William Wordsworth (The Prelude)
