he who is swallowed by the dark depths of despair dares not
give up hope, for he who gives up hope is truely damned to an
existence of darkness and despair.

but he who clings to hopes everlasting light, no matter how dim may find flight from ones personal blight.if you cling to hope you may find your way out of the darkest recesses and ride out the harshest storms of life.

hope in every language in all the world, in every time, and every place the word has a ring of strength and determination.
it is the heros strength that allows him to face the trials of tommorrow,
the faithfuls path, and the poor mans armor.
it cannot be stolen, cannot be broken, merely hidden from view.
this i must believe
