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
