~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hope is a funny little thing. It likes to dance among our hearts and rarely among our brains And if it ever does find its way into a piece of mind, Its best enemy, doubt, is sometimes not too far behind.

Your poem offers a poignant reminder of the fragility and resilience of hope, as well as the ongoing struggle to maintain it in the face of doubt. It invites readers to reflect on their own experiences with hope and doubt, prompting introspection and contemplation.

Lovely piece as always. Hope and doubt walk as pals, but we need heed only to good news. Light Sara.
