With hopeful eyes, you gaze at me
Hoping to catch up
Never do you really see
The drink that's in your cup
You think that I've got all the answers
And for all I know, I might
I might have the cures for colds and cancers
But you have to give me the might
You never know what secrets I hold
The gifts and curses I bear
Wait long enough, and you'll have been told
The knowledge I can share
What am I?

Are you
The future?
Title: I am the last of the three
Past, present, and the future
With hopeful eyes, you gaze at me
Hoping to catch up
Never do you really see
The drink that's in your cup
Kids can't wait to grow up, and in many western cultures it's common to expect that the future brings better things, even though we would probably be better off concentrating on what we already have ("the drink that's already in our cup"), trying to find happiness there.
You think that I've got all the answers
And for all I know, I might
I might have the cures for colds and cancers
But you have to give me the might
Maybe things actually will get better, but not without us, in the present, putting in the effort.
You never know what secrets I hold
The gifts and curses I bear
The future moves ahead just as quickly as the present, so we can never know the future.
Wait long enough, and you'll have been told
The knowledge I can share
As you grow older, you learn things that were, from your earlier point of view, in the future, so you get to know your portion of that future. And then the future cannot tell you any more knowledge, because you'll die. Possibly in a freaky atomic bear-shark-hybrid related incident. You don't know that you won't!

Hospitals are using more and more technology.

You can learn a lot form technology.
Title

My guess:
A parent
With hopeful eyes, you gaze at me
From the child's perspective
Hoping to catch up
As a child, always wanting to be older
Never do you really see
The drink that's in your cup
As a child you don't really appreciate how well things are. You always keep looking ahead rather than enjoying the present
You think that I've got all the answers
As kid's often do, always believing in their parents
And for all I know, I might
As a parent you never know what you might achieve in the future
I might have the cures for colds and cancers
Depending on your area of expertise, anyone could really have this knowledge
But you have to give me the might
Children encourage parents and provide an additional meaning to life
You never know what secrets I hold
As a child, parents don't often reveal their secrets to you
The gifts and curses I bear
Life is often mixed and most parents choose to protect their children from the worst of life
Wait long enough, and you'll have been told
As the child gets older they'll learn more
The knowledge I can share
Parents have the most to share to their children

From a particular perspective, the answer can be:
The Holy Spirit
Out of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit, while not necessarily third in power, is usually listed third in the list when being spoken of, the last of three.
While this is not meant to be a theological post, I will leave out the references, only validating claims.
With hopeful eyes, you gaze at me
Hoping to catch up
A Christian awaits the power of the Holy Spirit
Never do you really see
The drink that's in your cup
Often, a person neglects to take advantage of the present moment, a failure of character, as well as a lack of faith [in the power of God hence Holy Spirit].
You think that I've got all the answers
And for all I know, I might
The Holy Spirit does have all the answers, think about this not from the Holy Spirit speaking, but rather the perception of the Holy Spirit by a believer who lacks sufficient faith to grasp the omniscience of God. They "think" the Holy Spirit has all the answers, but can't fully grasp it yet.
I might have the cures for colds and cancers
But you have to give me the might
The Holy Spirit has the power of healing of all sorts. "Might" instead of certainty, because "you have to give me the might", which is due to the fact that the power of the Holy Spirit on Earth is limited by the receiver's faith to receive that healing, among other factors.
You never know what secrets I hold
The gifts and curses I bear
Since the power of God is infinite, a person can never know all the secrets held; there are gifts to the friends of God, as well as curses to the enemies of God.
Wait long enough, and you'll have been told
The knowledge I can share
With patience and perseverance, the Holy Spirit will impart wisdom and knowledge, although it may take some time for the person's faith to grow great enough to receive this wisdom.

From a particular perspective, the answer can be:
The Holy Spirit
Out of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit, while not necessarily third in power, is usually listed third in the list when being spoken of, the last of three.

Wait long enough, and you'll have been told
The knowledge I can share
With patience and perseverance, the Holy Spirit will impart wisdom and knowledge, although it may take some time for the person's faith to grow great enough to receive this wisdom.

From a particular perspective, the answer can be:
The Holy Spirit
Out of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit, while not necessarily third in power, is usually listed third in the list when being spoken of, the last of three.
While this is not meant to be a theological post, I will leave out the references, only validating claims.
With hopeful eyes, you gaze at me
Hoping to catch up
A Christian awaits the power of the Holy Spirit
Never do you really see
The drink that's in your cup
Often, a person neglects to take advantage of the present moment, a failure of character, as well as a lack of faith [in the power of God hence Holy Spirit].
You think that I've got all the answers
And for all I know, I might
The Holy Spirit does have all the answers, think about this not from the Holy Spirit speaking, but rather the perception of the Holy Spirit by a believer who lacks sufficient faith to grasp the omniscience of God. They "think" the Holy Spirit has all the answers, but can't fully grasp it yet.
I might have the cures for colds and cancers
But you have to give me the might
The Holy Spirit has the power of healing of all sorts. "Might" instead of certainty, because "you have to give me the might", which is due to the fact that the power of the Holy Spirit on Earth is limited by the receiver's faith to receive that healing, among other factors.
You never know what secrets I hold
The gifts and curses I bear
Since the power of God is infinite, a person can never know all the secrets held; there are gifts to the friends of God, as well as curses to the enemies of God.
Wait long enough, and you'll have been told
The knowledge I can share
With patience and perseverance, the Holy Spirit will impart wisdom and knowledge, although it may take some time for the person's faith to grow great enough to receive this wisdom.

It is
TIME
With hopeful eyes, you gaze at me
Hoping to catch up
with the clock
Never do you really see
can't see time
The drink that's in your cup
letter T (tea)
You think that I've got all the answers
time will tell
And for all I know, I might
letter I (I might)
I might have the cures for colds and cancers
time cures diseases
But you have to give me the might
letter M (from might)
You never know what secrets I hold
secrets held in time
The gifts and curses I bear
Wait long enough, and you'll have been told
The knowledge I can share
from the heading (last of the thre'e')
the lettter E
