Amenable


To make amenable the hope,
You first must come to know despair.
To view life through a broader scope,
Might have to get up from that chair.
To achieve something never dreamed,
Aught to set down what's broken first,
Then if life's still not all it seemed,
To hell with hope, give it your worst!

My, my Michael...
Feisty much?

hope and despair...why must they always sneak in back to back?
Right you are, though I rather like the thought of you raising hell ...on the side of course!

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

Lori, we should toast to that...lol  OK, now I'm pushing it for both of us here.  Srry.  I Hope you are doing well over there.

Tanya, Hope and Despair are twin sisters who are grievously jealous of each other and ALWAYS want only what the other has, never caring for what, or whom, they already possess.  Not speaking from experience mind you, I've never met either one of them personally... just something I picked up somewhere on the side.
