Hope-Note to Self

Hope was not meant
to lock in the result
that we hope for.
Hope is simply a force
to ease burdens and
light our way through.

When the chips are all down,
the end game is not
something we vote for.
It’s the thing we accept
because Someone knows
more than we do.

So hope on, hope ever.
Infuse every cell
with good feeling.
Fill up every drop
of your lifeblood
with positive vibes.

Just consider, when stuff
hits the fan and it sets
your soul reeling,
that there’s one road
to healing: remembering
why you’re alive.

And there’s One
(only God)
Who knows best
what each soul
needs to thrive.

Let Him drive.
