HOPE

HOPE

A Poem by poetforlife

Hope is the very simple thing

that gives our dreams their little wings

Hope is the wind that lets us set sail

land where we will, making all well.

 

Hope is the comfort

that makes it alright

the dance with our mind

in the middle of the night.

 

Hope is the thing

that makes us hang on

when we want to let go,

when everything's gone.

 

Hope is the dream

that keeps us alive

Makes us want more

in spite of our life.

 

Hope is the song

we hear in the dark

when there's no light left

life's broken our heart.

 

Hope is the future

in all of its bliss

it's a tender embrace

a sweet, gentle kiss.

 

Hope is the thing

we can't live without

It washes away

all our fears and self doubt.

 

So, don't give up hope

if you hold on at all

Hope will be the net

to catch you when you fall.

 

Keep reaching out,

Keep looking up

open your heart

let hope fill your cup.
