Hope

hope is a dream a wonderful thing like a kite it takes flight and flies as high as our string will let it fly in the wind it twist and dives but hold on to the string by my faith i will hope is a dream a beautiful thing like an egg lain to hatch we wait and wait and keep it warm waiting for it to crack hope is a dream an expressive thing a seed we dared to plant we water and feed and attend it's needs till something from the dirt turns green hope is a dream a colorful thing a vision to be realized we hold to our hopes and act with our votes to see our dreams materialized hope is a dream a mysterious thing that most men say don't matter but given time to pray about the immaterial becomes matter hope is a dream a magical thing with out it we may as well die but beyond the clouds and things that we see with our eyes is the promise of a great surprise

Sometimes people tell us to hang onto "hope" at times when it is difficult to do so. But there is a great reward for those who are strong enough to maintain hope through times of adversity. Another great write, John! Have missed hearing from you. Nice to see your new work! Love, Carolyn

Smile John iii, .... I hope you write more poems like this because I love it. I love your other work, too. You know that. Hey, I have a challenge for you. Write a poem of the poetic form called "Romanticism"... sort of a 1500-1600's Shakespearian type of poem... not taliban... just good ole American and apple pie values.... old fashioned? LOL Loved your comment!
