Hope
Hope is only what we can wish for,
It is not anything you can purchase at a store,
Hope is not something we just hide away and keep offshore,
Without hope our life is like a crystal vase just dropped to the floor.
Lacking hope can leave us feeling like we are just stuck on the base floor.
Hopelessness feels like a asteroid coming to earth to kill us like we are all dinosaurs.
Sometimes it feels like we are fighting a powerful sea with nothing more than a little ore.
Hope saves us like a superhero once more.
I rather have hope and be poor,
Than to have riches and be rotten to the core,
We should not fight between hope and sorrow like it is a civil war,
Hope is all I truly need, nothing more.
