True Hope

By Isla Stock

Hope is to dream,

Hope is to desire,

Hope makes a pathway to walk on.

 

Hope holds love,

and fear too.

 

Hope can heal a wounded soul.

It can also tear through,

leaving a gaping hole.

 

Having hope contains faith,

faith in another day,

another time.

 

Hope is too much to carry,

you drop some,

you lose some,

and when you reach your destiny,

you’ll have much hope,

hope you’ll always have,

and just like that,

that is the meaning of true hope.
