Notes About The Poem

Ambition Or Hope Poetry Contest. Sponsored by: Sotto Poet 

What Is HOPE

I find hope because I am not dead, I find hope as the sun gets out of bed. The bright and pretty light will spread, for all to see and be read. With hope I will always look ahead, hope can be a common thread.

Yes! I do believe that hope is a concentrated prayer, mantra, chant if you think about it, and is there for us, when we least expect. Great entry Paula. Blessings
