POEMS ABOUT HOPE

ONLY FROM HERE

There was no room for me 
On the sunny meadow
So I bowed my head down
And moved… 
To the shadow.

And I stood there watching
How others rejoice
Feeling poignant sorrow,
No hope and 
No choice.

Yet, it’s only from here,
From this dreary sight,  
From this deep, deep darkness
That I saw 
         The Light.

HOPE

Life on earth - a confusion
Happiness - a distant illusion
Hope - a tiny grain of sand
Yet it is here, right here in my hand

I open my palm slowly, and all that I see
Is this one grain of sand from some far far sea
All in me wants to quit, no strength to go on
Yet to this one small seed of hope
    I choose to
               hold on.

HOPES UP HIGH

 

We like to eat pecan pie,
my friends and I.
We like to talk, 
and go for a walk,
and keep our hopes up high

We keep them high
so no one can 
reach them and see.
The problem is...
neither can we.
