Hope.

The blizzards and the trenches
Cold and scared huddled in a trance
Hope, is the morning sun
The sound of the cock crowing
A young soldier puts down his gun
Hope, is life worth living

A dinner table set for five
Each and everyday a mother has to survive
Knowing not if that one empty seat
Will one day be filled again
Hope, is her wish coming true
To see her child come home alive
Hope, is her thanking the one above



Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

Victoria, Interloper, Startime, and SEA,

Thank you all for your replies. That glitter of hope is within us, it usually comes with a wish.

BirdeeB,
Thank you. Hope is all we have at times, particularly when loneliness creeps in.

Daniel J D, hope is the thing that we all need, a wonderful poem written excellantly. I really love this one but then I'm the eternal optimist, and I thank God for it.
Take care
