A Quirky Loop

Tender hope in a cup
Slippery like wet soap
Tasked to give it shape
With a book, scissors and some tape
A responsibility no good son can escape
To carve into the horizon his own landscape
With neither a map nor a safety rope
To ascend life's steep slope
A sage said to wear trust like a cape
March into the battlefield like a good troop
Your mission to never, ever drop
At harvest to share in your crop
To never bring love to a stop
To drink daily from the poetrysoup
