Hope
A four letters word
It's more to just a word
It means a lot to me in my world
Where it seems I'm odd
it gave me heels on which I stood tall
When everyone deserted me
It assured me they'd Come back to me
When it seems like it's over
and it appears as though I'm a rover
It whispered to me "the Morrow'll be alright"
When tears went down my cheeks
It took it and made a swimming pool out of it
When I felt like striping ever part of me
It sat me down & it's soothing words eased me of my agony
When my heart was emptied
It took it upon itself to make ridges, sowed seeds
Which grew later into fruitful trees
Each having diverse fruits I could pluck & eat from
When I weltered in Solitude
it made tea for 2
hoping I'd be warmed up to leave the bounds of being destitute
When the hustles & bustles of life were keen on me
it cleared my path of it's potholes
and made me journey with ease
And when everything seemed not to be in place
it took a place in my heart...
and fixed everything to be in place
