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.
