Hope

Hope is as endless as the sea,

It is a gift for everyone to see.

Hope gives me a reason to be,

A reason to see me for me.

With Hope I am forever bound,

Being guided with each leap and bound.

Once Hope is lost and gone,

There is no way to go on.

Each step I take is guided by Hope,

It does not allow me to sit and mope.

Hope is a combination of many things,

It is something my heart will forever sing.

It fills my heart and soul with joy and love,

Hope is sent from heaven above.

This is a touching and empowering piece...I really like the last four lines!:') Would it be nice to change 'It fills my heart...' to 'Filling my heart..." though? And would adding 'I believe' in the last line be good? Just some thoughts!:)


Hope is a combination of many things,
It is something my heart will forever sing.

Filling my heart and soul with joy and love,
Hope - I believe - is sent from heaven above.

I enjoyed reading this, it is very true, hope is the reason why so many people keep trying. The only thing I would suggest is changing the first bound to found just to change it up a bit so it doesn't sound repetitive, but that is up to you. I really like the last line, hope does fill us with love and joy and it is truly sent from heaven above.

Good Job

This poem is so powerful. I love your choice of words and the way you write is really beautiful. Hope is all we have left. We have to hold on to it, or else we're nothing. Without hope, the world would fall apart.
