Hope

This river of hope flows easily enough Yet I cannot see how With the uncertainty that resides inside it

amazing mixture of smooth sailing versus the snags of life-hope taking us down the sometimes turbulent, biting waters of life..........Yes, meaningful for me. Thanks. Great gift.

Sweet friend, I agree with most, especially John and Sean's words. Without hope there is nothing and hope is the platform upon which dreams are built. We must all ride out the injustices upon hope, while doing what we can to make change. My heart goes out to you. An amazing write. Love, Shar

peace be with you fathima,as you endure the feeling of being an outsider in your own home...i wrote about a similar subject in college,back in the late '70s,which i described as reverse discrimination,as one side switches to the other,nothing really changes except for the faces,but the action remains the same,no matter the color...hatred just festers more hatred in a bigger wound,which no band-aid can fix.....peace , jay

In comparison with life, faith is the common component holding it togather. Yet, it's not human. Great job! ~ Joseph

If we try to examine how "hope floats" then we may destroy the hope. Let's just know that there is always hope and it, like the river, can carry us through. Very well written My friend. Michael
