Notes About The Poem

Hope

When the world is fraught with fear and danger…and I find it hard to cope…
I allow that same world to remind me…there is always hope.

I see hope as each new sunrise brightens up the morn
I see hope on parents’ faces when a baby has been born. 

I see hope in every gardener’s eyes…as they sow their field of seeds
I see hope in every flower blooming…every tree and every weed.

I hear hope every time someone pops a cork in a bottle of champagne
and every time I overhear birds singing in the rain.

I see hope in every rainbow, in every birthday candle's light
I see hope in every flower that is blooming in the night. 

I find hope riding on the wind or drifting on the breeze
I see it in a baby’s smile or in the dancing of the bees.

I see it crawling in the caterpillar who hopes to be a butterfly
I see it in our faces every time we say goodbye.

I see hope in baby animals…in boats heading out to sea
I see hope in art and music and, yes, in poetry.

I see hope at every wedding…every nervous groom and blushing bride
and with every act of love and kindness…my hope is fortified. 

So when I look out on a world where fear and danger seem to surround me
I will never surrender 

So when I look out on a world where danger and fear seems, sometimes, to surround me
I will never surrender to them…not with so much hope around me
