The Gift

If I could give you only one gift,

I would give you the gift of hope.

 

Hope to keep you going

when it seems the world

is all against you;

and you must stand alone.

 

Hope to remind you,

that shadows are cast,

not by darkness,

but by light.

 

Hope to try new dreams,

and try again,

and yet again;

if it proves necessary.

 

Hope to stand against evil

and fight injustice;

even when you feel

you are tilting at windmills.

 

If I could give you only one gift,

I would give you the gift of hope.

Amazing. "Hope to keep you going

when it seems the world

is all against you;

and you must stand alone." --- I would like to hear that from somebody. It was great to read such lines in your poetry. "Hope". One of the most precious gifts indeed.
Very well-written and touching!

I am near to speechless.. as near as I ever get. This was a word that spoke deep inside me today.. one I needed and deeply appreciate. How hope can keep us moving even in the darkest of days.. "Hope to try new dreams.." I will...
