Hope





This thing we call hope
Grabs our hand and gently tugs
Perhaps tomorrow
Breathing will be easier
And life will hold some promise

A-Men Barbara. Hope is a powerful thing, and the ones that grab Holt to it, they will be able to move mountains. I love it.

Spot on BG! You've described the angst associated with hope very well - we want to hope and yet the reality of the situation is dire, so we figure that the next day will be better, and that's hope - it's what it does- it gives us one more day. Well done!

Hope
