You Still Have Hope

If you can look at the sunset and smile, then you still have hope.
If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower, then you still have hope.
If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly, then you still have hope.
If the smile of a child can still warm your heart, then you still have hope.
If you can see the good in other people, then you still have hope.
If the rain breaking on a rooftop can still lull you to sleep, then you still have hope.
If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in wonder, then you still have hope.
If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant under your fingertips, then you still have hope.
If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism, then you still have hope.
If you give people the benefit of a doubt, then you still have hope.
If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that have touched your life, then you still have hope.
If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings a pleasant surprise, then you still have hope.
If the suffering of others still fills you with pain and frustration, then you still have hope.
If you refuse to let a friendship die, or accept that it must end, then you still have hope.
If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and reflection, then you still have hope.
If you still watch love stories or want the endings to be happy, then you still have hope.
If you can look to the past and smile, then you still have hope.
If, when faced with the bad, when told everything is futile, you can still look up and end the
conversation with the phrase... "yeah...BUT.." then you still have hope.

Teman, harapan adalah sesuatu yang menakjubkan. Jalin-jemalin yang hadir didalam harapan, selalu mengikat jiwa manusia, walau kadang ikatan itu tak tampak. Harapan, akan selalu menguatkan tangan-tangan kita, saat yang lainnya melepaskannya. Harapan, akan selalu membuat kita tersenyum, saat semuanya menangis. Harapan, akan selalu membuat kepala kita tegak, dan menatap jauh ke depan, saat begitu banyak tantangan yang hadir. Harapan, adalah kekuatan yang diberikan Allah, bagi kita untuk terus mau berusaha.

Harapan, akan melukiskan senyuman di wajah kita, walaupun hati sedang gundah. Harapan akan menunjukkan arah bagi kaki-kaki kita, walaupun mata kita tak melihat jejak-jejak itu. Harapan akan memberikan dorongan, walaupun jiwa kita sedang dalam kebingungan.

Harapan, adalah juga sesuatu yang indah. Harapan adalah sesuatu yang harus disyukuri, yang memberikan kesegaran bagi setiap jiwa yang kering. Dan teman, harapan, dapat ditemukan di mana saja. Di setiap hati kita. Di setiap jiwa kita. Sebab, harapan adalah dian, adalah nyala, yang akan memberikan cahaya, dalam tempat yang gelap tanpa warna.

Teman, jangan pernah kehilangan harapan.
