When Hope Is Gone

When hope is gone
start praying

When you are not really
here anymore just a skeleton
shell of your former you

Start praying
When you have God on your side
it is enough

When you open up to new
possibilities it is enough

When hope is gone
start praying

Caren, I like this poem. 'When hope is gone start praying'. Is hope ever really gone? I wish I knew. But I trust in prayers, I'll say one now for you. -Richard

I have to say I was starting to feel like that this week my friend. I was truly in lah lah land thanks to way too many maladies to mention or bore you with.
