Hope for Today, Hope for TomorrowA Poem by Peter ThomasI hope this gives a little confidence to anybody who needs it. We all can fall but we all can hope too.Hope galvanizing the masses So much so we try and hold to the rope Nothing as easy as it seems Yet nothing so gratifying are our dreams To mow along, can’t we just sing a song Many say nope, it seems it’s the fools who hope Hope for today and tomorrow
Our lives some strong as concrete Others oft seem to sink in the peat Sinking and singing, laughing and drinking Opposites attract, there’s no doubt at that Too many the way is, that they may rue the day When we hope for today and tomorrow
Let us gather near, so that we may hear The voices of despair and doubt among us Yet never fear that this is what we must adhere Merely we must confront and face the doubt within us No never too far, can we stray afar There is always a net to catch us Though the day will come For each and every one of us When everything falls it seems from above Crashing down among us I was told these things, these words with wings Of comfort and compassion, of calm everlasting Let not your heart be afraid Though you may stray I was told this, these words of bliss Hold on to that ever strong rope The hope for today and tomorrow © 2010 Peter ThomasAuthor's Note
