Hang Onto Hope

Hang onto hope midst a cheerless sky
  Hang onto hope; in the face of reason fly
Hang onto hope when those around you despair
  Hang onto hope; there's a rainbow somewhere

Fill your heart with love: the sky will be sunny
  Fill your heart with love: life's sweeter than honey
Fill your heart with love; all your words will ring true
  Fill your heart with love and the world will love you   iiiii

Faintly reminiscent of some of your poems, Arturo---thought not anywhere near as lyrical. Thanks, Gershon

Great rhythm and rhyme in this poem Gershon, and you are quite right in what you penned, give as much love as we can 'and the world will love you' Blessings, Jennifer.

Brilliant! Love the way this is set out; the first stanza about hanging on to hope and the second the antidote - LOVE. Great work. Ron :)

As our country is in turmoil, hope can be elusive. But when we find it, just look at how it can blend with love to make our lives happier. Well said, my friend! Hugs, Carolyn
