Hope

There are many definitions describing the word Hope,

but do they help to teach us how to cope?

According to Webster, Hope is a desire accompanied by expectation.

To want very much, and continue to have hope, although it seems baseless.

Are they just a few selections of wing-like words

that fly around aimlessly like a flock of birds?

With Hope, you need help to unburden your fears,

to have faith in making wiser decisions with less tears.

It is often said that praying is a way to find Hope,

and by seeking peace within ourselves, we learn to cope.

Not every problem can be solved,

But with Hope, much can be resolved.
