Notes About The Poem

"HOPE" - image from solutionsacademy.com

HOPE WALKS WITH COURAGE

Hope walks with courage
the way dawn 
leans into the horizon,
each borrowing a quiet shimmer from the other.

They move through the world together~
two ancient wanderers who trust
that even the shadowed path
remembers the way.

Hope lifts the lantern,
a small unwavering glow in the wind,
while courage unfolds
the map drawn from every hard-won step.

Together  
they cross deserts,  
climb the long stairs of grief,  
wade through the quiet rivers  
of almost giving up~  
and still they walk.  

And when you feel them beside you,  
one warm at your left,  
one sure at your right,  
you realize  
you were never meant  
to travel alone.  

Hope walks with courage~  
and so do you.
