Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose

My Hope is Legendary

my hope is legendary
I believe in magic
The goodness of children
an enlightened empathetic world

my hope is prominent
I am full of optimism
that the races can all love each other
and we can do better than merely “tolerating” each other.

my hope gets me out of bed in the morning
She smacks me up the side of the head
If I allow myself the luxury of a negative thought
She is all encompassing, and a guiding light for me.

Ilene Bauer December 23, 2023 at 12:20 PM You are lucky to have your hope to get you out of bed in the morning, Caren! Mine is off in the corner tussling with my anxiety, which always seems to get the better of it… Caren Krutsinger December 24, 2023 at 1:39 PM You have my warmest thoughts at this holiday time, my friend.
