MY HOPE

by Jeanne

The ending of each season will be greeted by the beauty of another

The weakest of birds will make her way to her nest

The funnel of the strongest tornado will touch down in a place no life exists

Every empty room will eventually have a window with a view

Gunfire in the distance is just target practice

When life passes, there is somewhere else to be explored

Hail will not always take over a heavy rain

Injuries are short term

All children will have an offering of change and growth

The fearful will find their song

Antidotes will arrive in the nick of time

Things happen for a reason

To believe is to win

MY HOPE continued
