Hopeful Girl Poem by Julie A Smith

Hopeful Girl

Rating: 4.3


The hopeful girl stares down at the blank page

and ponders the fresh promise of a new year.

Sometimes, like a bird, she needs to soar out of her cage,

and stop being afraid of the unknown fear.


The hopeful girl jots down some poetry

as she ponders her resolutions of the new year.

She wants to embrace life, love, and be free,

and desires lasting love to draw near.


The hopeful girl seeks fresh dreams,

passion, purpose, love, faith, and renewal.

Seeking the tarnish to rub off of her hurt and scarred seams,

her hidden desire is to shine like a beautiful, pure jewel.
