Full of Hope

Hope is the only thing that keeps me alive Every day I push myself to strive Lord thank you, just these two words describe how I’m grateful My life is full of obstacles and mistakes that’s what makes it intriguing and beautiful Life sure has not turned out the way I have wished That is why I must persist The conciseness of these words is a gift to you from me Poetry paints the whole world of what I need to say about what my spirit sees There is more joy in being content Life is a work in progress it is not finished yet At times we may not get what we want or what we think we need Patience is a virtue and it makes us take heed When I think about that my live appears pretty full Let life happen if it takes its toll I will pray for the hearts that don’t have hope until my voice becomes gravelly, and my bones are weary I will then rise in a new reality, and singing praises for all eternity We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. Martin Luther King, Jr. Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Albert Einstein
