Hope

A poem I wrote a while ago that conveys the sentiment of hope, based on Day 1 of the 12 days of Christmas writing challenge I've set for myself.  I Hope it inspires you to add a little hope to your life.

Hope is a dove that

 soars high above the sky 

Tickling fluffy clouds

By extending it's wing.

Hope is when after

A storm the 

thunder has ceased

To be no more.

Hope is when the clouds

begin to part and the sun

begins to shine as the 

rainbow arcs overhead.

Hope is pure white

Like fresh bed sheets

Or spotless paper

Hope is life.

Hope is the person 

That can also give a 

Smile, to those who 

are in need of it.

Hope is the person

Who gives that helping

Hand to pick you up

when you're falling.

Hope is the kind word

Whispered in your

Ear when you're

Struggling to cope.

Hope is when you know

You can beat those negative

thoughts encircling your mind

And say "No" to all the bad things

Hope is when you

stand at the mountain 

And say "Yes".

I can do it.
