Hope Medley

Hope forewarned Such was Jeremiah's call: Go, tell my people what I'm going to do; Know that they will not listen to you. Hope forlorn determining the odds on a bet: You choose this or that, using your brain; you lose sometimes, money down the drain. Hope shopworn accompanies buying a car: Fishing, sales huckster puts on airs; dishing out money later for repairs. Hope unborn Such are some relationships: the beauty of lovers, errant; the duty of becoming a parent. Hope well-born An Italian fishing boat saves a victim amnesia-bound, Jason Bourne - identity found. Hope with a thorn Hope deferred makes the heart sick: You bait your prayers with a promise; You wait on God, doubting like Thomas. April 26, 2021
