Hope Poem by Gary Witt
Hope
On this subject,
No one speaks
With any authority:
No one can tell you
Where to find hope;
But try if you can, to
Move through despair.
Do not fight or deny it,
For one cannot swim
By fighting the water.
Do not carry it with you,
It is immense and useless.
Neither cherish nor curse it
For it feels nothing in return.
And though it may cover you,
Do not let it in;
For that is the way it kills.
It does not fly, as hope does.
So move through it if you can.
Hope, if it still exists,
Might stay for now
On the other side of despair,
But not here, not on this side.
Look elsewhere,
Hope is not here.
This is one I will carry with me. The message is strong, eloquently and succinctly phrased, memorable and accurate. Straight into favourites. Thank you G. t x
It is excellently if you know where there is a Hope... The Love does not grow without hope.

some say hope perpetual and grows e'en without seed won't falter feast or famine and can withstand dirty deed I think more so hope grows where effort made has clearly shown that faith was planted justly and then - Hope - the harvest grown Hope feeds upon a memory of expectations met first all but a seedling soon grows larger stronger yet And bow-tied with a ribbon Hope becomes a gift still more for hope when given shape-shifts until faith stands at the door yet caution wise to realize that hope when falsly gained as dissapointment underlies faith hope fails none retained application action then that sprout into a tree the end result a gift to self - instilled in me by....me You GROW hope...through cause effect
