Hope.
It’s the hope that friends are safe and well
It’s the hope that loved ones don’t get hurt
It’s the hope that sick friends recover quickly
It’s the hope that those who can’t recover, don’t suffer in pain for too long
It’s the hope that one day there will be the confidence and strength to start over
It’s the hope that the happy ending is actually achievable
It’s the hope that friends stay patient and loyal
It’s the hope that in the crazy online world of half truths, we can find a true friend
It’s the hope that somewhere, someone needs each of us
It’s the hope that folk don’t ask too much of us
It’s the hope that we can all be accepted for who we are, flaws included
It’s the hope that, one day, there will be the courage to ask for that meet up over coffee.
To some degree or another we all have to have some Hope. Even the smallest amounts of it can see us through a rough time, or even carry us through the good times. Are we foolish to have these hopes? Maybe we are. However, if we don’t have it, and don’t look to the future for our wishes/dreams to come true then that means we have given up entirely - and where would we all be if that happened? These hopes are the very things that keep us moving from one day to the next.
