Analysis of Hope
Take a small grain of hope and feed it promises,
you have to water it and work to encourage,
nurture with love, tend to the weeds of doubt.
Rains may downpour, heavy and often,
shelter it, keep safe, gaze on it and whisper
you’ll wait - give it time to grow strong and powerful.
From the grain, life will flourish, creep vinelike upwards,
seeking enjoyment, craving delight, blooming and glowing.
Fruits will open and spread - creating something beautiful
Take a small grain of hope and day after day
give it a little of yourself, breath life into it
and hope will grow to fact - happiness will seed itself.
