Looking For My Hope

Looking for my hope

Looking for my hope
Things I’ve done and how I failed
Still I have to cope
And halt a time to moan and wail
Struggling hard to make myself known
Continue till my dreams have grown
As roses that the seeds have sown

Looking toward my scope
Allow myself a future glance
Looking toward my scope
The time to have a second chance
inure myself to all the fears
To rid myself of all those tears
Recapture all the waning years

Looking for my hope
Looking for my hope
The warmth of light embracing me
A sign of better things to be

Hi Maurice: I guess as we age, We have to deal with our metaphoric geraniums. I have reach that plateau in my life and I am resigned to deal with each day accordingly. Love your wisdom....Ralph
