Hope is…
Hope is a tissue,
Wiping away your problems and fears.
Hope is a bright sun ray,
Warming your heart and soul.
Hope is a tattered teddy bear,
Hugging your tears, making them tears of joy.
Hope is a cozy, warm blanket,
Protecting you from the problems of the world.
Hope is a striving flower
In a dried and silty ground.
Hope is a butterfly,
Fluttering around a garden of weeds.
Hope is a twinkling star
In a sky of black clouds.
