Hope

Lighterthan freedom on feathery ferns

Dancingon tiptoes in bright balmy breezes,

Higherthan hilltops on heavenly highways,

Hermountains, her valleys

Bothfilled with delight.

 

Bidme go forward,

Offerme comfort,

Fillme with confidence

ElseI should stumble.

Liftup the veil,

Placea kiss on my forehead

Makingme blush…

Keepingme humble.

 

Youngerthan springtime,

Olderthan winter,

Longerthan always and

Sweeterthan wine,

Hopefloods my heart with

Thelaughter of sunshine

Leavingall doubt,

Everysorrow behind.
