Love, Hope, and Dreams

Three sisters, Love, Hope, and Dreams
Growing up always felt the need
To hold each others hands wherever they went
That way Love would not lose Hope and Hope would not lose Dreams

You know it was bound to happen
The girls grew up and didn't see each other that much
Love and Hope stayed in semi contact
But with Dreams both of them lost touch

It seems sister Dreams couldn't stay
So one day Dreams just up and flew away
Leaving Love and Hope all alone
With an empty void since Dreams has been gone

Love how you wove this personification into a touching story that seems all too realistic, Mike. Beautifully done.

Nice! Was this in reference to your sisters? If so, must've been difficult to use the latrine! :)
