Hope
hopes are baits
on fishing rods
borrowed by the farmer
to entice the donkey
hopes are thoughts
of a better tomorrow
rain for the wheat
water for the horses
hopes are faith
that jumping down the spring board
One land on water not concrete
and have a joyous swim
hopes are bouquets
of tenacity perseverance
will power to continue
where some give up
Hope.

Love that first stanza, as usual it is well written with crystal images. Great pen Grace!
I do have a small question... I notice you do not generally use punctuation or capitalized letters which does makes you poetry easy to read, but I noticed that 'One' In the line "One land on water not concrete" and at the end the final word "Hope" The first letters are capitalized, I just wondered if this was intentional? If so what the ideal behind it is, I found it interesting.

Love your views of hope Grace. Too me it's a matter of faith, wishing for the confidence to take that dive, or leap. Giving up is not an option. Not yet, anyway.

Hi Crowfly.:) oyes. Its not an option, one need to go forward. Hope is always coupled with faith...that's so true.
