why should you always be hopeful???

what????!

Hope is something that NO ONE can take from you. YOU alone decide whether you keep it or not. As you get older and see the patterns of life, you realize that just because you're at the end of a chapter, it doesn't mean that you're at the end of the book, so to speak.

If you can make friends with the fact that life isn't fair and nobody ever said it would be, and still persevere (and spend all your time whining), it will go a long way. You can also be proactive and have a hand in creating your own hope.

Hope is the sparkle on the glitter
Hope is the warmth in the sun
Its a forcefield around you
when the day is done

Hope is everything
when our lifes gone wrong
Its what keeps us going
when our days extra long

Its the smile from a baby
the feel of our lovers touch
and without hope for tomorrow
we haven't got much

I just made that up, not to bad. kThat second verse could use some work. deb





and without hope

lets keep the poem going
Hope is what gives us that grin
the spark in our eye
that feeling within
that keeps our step spry

Hope gives us the strength
to take on that task
to share with the world
without wearing a mask




this is kinda fun

Hope is the shove
to do the right thing
Hope is the love
when the season is spring
Hope is the fury
Moving all of our souls,
to seek what is right...
to end the death tolls...
Hope is the power,
to keep the lights on...
Hope is in me,
from the land to the sea...
and, I pray....
