Holding Out Hope

Holding out for hope leaving out the door searching high and low tearing past grey latching on to all the bells and whistles left hanging out again in the pouring rain With winds flowing through my speck of being thoughts sit in waiting to fly across the sea waves of promise rise up and shine for me as notes adored walk bravely upon the shore Watching pretty daisies on a clouded day Surrounded with love, I think I'll stay

- There is only one kind of love that can satisfy us, filling up all gaps, and give us the happiness we all want; unconditional love or true love - The earth will die without love, Tim - A lovely poem - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Hope is the honey that sweetens thy lover's tea.. So said the sage when asked if love is the last and best hope to hold romance in united hearts! Closing couplet shows, you have spoke to that same wise man , methinks. A7

You haven't learned that "Hope is a fool's paradise" When the candle of hope burns up all that's left is a mess. Praying you are well, my friend:)
