Hope

Since Prometheus stole from Zeus the fire Hope is hiding at the bottom of a chest Dig deep, to Hope we all can aspire Pandora could hear, but with the ability to listen was not blessed The warning from Zeus she ignored she opened the gift he gave Hope is hiding at the bottom of a chest Curiosity over took Pandora, the evils of the world she released on all Her despair that was there for all to see, she was in dire disgrace Hiding in Pandora’s Box waiting, was Elpis, or Hope, no matter how small This tiny thing just waiting, search for it with fervour, there is always a trace It may be Hope or expectation but like the mustard seed, watch Hope grow Her despair that was there for all to see, she was in dire disgrace. Think of little Hope, sitting at the bottom of the chest and see her glow Zeus did not blame Pandora he knew that she would peep in It may be Hope or expectation but like the mustard seed, watch Hope grow There is no worth in blame for life’s woes, evils and the sin Since Prometheus stole from Zeus the fire Zeus did not blame Pandora he knew that she would peep in Dig deep, to Hope we all can aspire © 15/11/2012 Entry For Craig’s Competition
