Esperance
ESPERANCE
Where there’s life there’s hope
As vital signs may be detected
And presents a chance to cope
However we may be affected
Yet can any of us really see it
Whether obscured in fantasy
Or clearly stated in Papal fiat
A different kind of hypocrisy
When good prospects emerge
And all are confirmed as real
Unspent emotions start to surge
A tidal wave that one can feel
Hope remains the final portal
For those of us who are mortal
