Blessed Trio

“Hope springs eternal” a wise elder said to me I never forgot a strong cornerstone of faith hope is found when needed most I did not “find God” faith was always part of me in good times or bad faith allows us to feel love even for those who are foes love is amply strewn by all who have hope and faith the blessed trio travel lifelong together escort us to heaven’s gate *Written August 25, 2014

Faith, hope and love are entwined together..I believe that all spring out of love..Enjoyed reading this one today..My work about addiction was just a work and not a real problem..It wasn't an entry for the contest for she wanted forms other than Senryu or Haiku..I was inspired by her contest though..Sara

wow, you went with all three. WAY to do it, CArolyn. I have to hurry and make Joe's dinner now. But I want to send you those footles. WHy do you call them football footles? I used to think all footles were supposed to rhyme that way. I don't even have any other kind!!! btw,if you want to just click on "forms" and then find my footles, you can choose any of mine that you like. I am fine with that. Let me know.

The contest on the three is very educative and all-pervasive and equally you brought it all to the chore, Carolyn. Beautiful Tanka
