Eternal Hope

Eternal Hope You speak with your eyes and I hear with my heart. They tell of a love that never can start. But, somewhere deep, inside of me, This feeling will live through eternity. So, if Walter Mitty, I must be Then, that will have to satisfy me. Note: In Walter Mitty's daydreams he imagines himself to be heroic. That seems to be the common denominator throughout the tale by James Thurber. Written by John Posey 11/03/13

When I was a child, I had the three strangest career dreams... This poem took me back to that. Done took me way down memory lane. Guess we, most if not all, had/have a little of that in us, don't we-- being heroes and whatnot, right? Thank you. Lovely couplet
