Carole Duet Poet Carpe Diem

Hope For the Best

Losing love can be
  sad but true.
  It can happen to me.
  It can happen to you.
  That's why I say,
 "Seize the day,"
 for sweet memories will never fade away.
 Put them in your heart's treasure chest
 and keep hoping for the best.

Maria Williams February 21, 2018 at 5:05 AM Great words of advice my dear friend Carole. "Seize the Day", I've learned to do that.Took your Carpe Diem and added it to my last poem "No Regrets", isn't that wonderful we are on the same trend here. Great minds think alike as they say....Maria xxx Carole Duet February 21, 2018 at 7:22 PM Thank you for your nice comment, Maria. Carole :D

Andrea Dietrich February 19, 2018 at 11:20 AM I like this sweet little poem and what Richard said about it resembling a boat. Let hope float your boat! I am looking for the poem you told me about but don't see it as a recent post. I'll try to search by your titles. Carole Duet February 19, 2018 at 11:26 AM Hi Andrea! Thanks for reading and for your nice comment on this poem. Yes, "hope" is what we live on, isn't it. Carole :D

Richard Lamoureux February 19, 2018 at 8:16 AM The poem looks like it’s shaped like a boat. It made me think Hope Floats. Each person deals with the loss of love differently. I think your positive approach is a healthy one. Carole Duet February 19, 2018 at 11:27 AM Hello Richard! I never thought about it but this poem really does look like a boat...and "hope" definitely floats my boat. Thanks. Carole :D

Anne-Lise Andresen February 19, 2018 at 2:04 AM - Even if we lose love, there will always be some good memories - We must move on and "seize the day" - A encouraging poem, Carole - Love comes to an open heart :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Carole Duet February 19, 2018 at 11:30 AM You are so right, Anne-Lise. Never lose "hope". "Carpe Dium" always. Thanks. Carole :D
