Street Roots o Oct. 9-15, 2015 Poetry Page 13 The birth of hope Untitled by J. Mccurdy Hope is Bom In Moments You know If I had to say Which one Got me From There To here I’d have to say It was that Moment Waaay Back when It was the Little boy Bent behind Your Devil come get me grin That got me Shared laughter Spilling out Over Nothing left to lose Wakes up by Daniel Cox Hopes slumber We dared To coax Emotion Outta each others I’ve seen everything stares Way back when Steam rose Off wet wool blankets Not interfering With The early mornings Got no shelter Shiver dance I gotta say Shared coffee Sure took The edge off the Concrete So here’s to you Little boy blue And your part In creating the Hope That got me From then to now That moment in time when you see the potential of the ones you love, Hope, truth and perseverance of life demonstrated with what is right Love between one another is the unbreakable bond of life, our path from the mud to the stars is full of dangers about but the spirit of humanity reaps our rewards as we strive against the strife and enemy of life. Do not allow darkness to engulf your soul but overcome and prevail. This will be the sign of the victory of man. CareOregon and our partners make Oregon Health Plan navigation easy!
