Unexpected Inspiration

I sadly can't remember where I found this poem...for some reason I think in the remnants of my great-grandparents' homestead. But I wrote it down that day, and have kept it with me always.

It is a favorite poem of my great-grandmother's:

"Keep on Hoping"

Keep on looking for the bright, bright skies,
Keep on hoping that the sun will rise,
Keep on singing though the whole world sighs,
And you'll get there in the morning.

Keep on sowing when you've missed the crops,
Keep on faithful 'til the curtain drops,
Keep on trusting in the cause of right,
Keep on watching for the dawn of light,
Keep on fighting 'til you've won the fight,
And you'll get there in the morning!
