Six Word Friday-Hope Springs Eternal (Week 2, Day 1)

HOPE

A stepping stone to something better.
A belief that we will accomplish
that which we want to accomplish.
It comes and inspires, then leaves.
Despair takes place, then hope returns.
It is always there, within us,
not enough in and of itself,
but a spark, a dream dreamed.
Let our hope move us forward.

I hope for peace on earth,
starting right here in my heart.

I hope for safety and health
for my children, for all children.

I hope to be more present,
loving, compassionate, kind, disciplined and patient.

I hope to travel to Africa!

I hope I will listen, know, answer,
when God is calling on change.

I hope this book changes me,
So glad todays lesson was hope,
two posts in one, asking me
to look into that eternal wellspring
that we call hope. Perfect Timing.

For more hope, in six words,

hope never leaves, but sometimes we can't see it behind all the other stuff.

Tessa said...

Thank you, thank you. I wish I could respond to each comment individually, but I can't figure out how. Yep...technological dummy. I just like to write.
Your comments lift me up so much, as do your posts.
