Hope - A Poem

The Cloud - Percy Bysshe Shelley

Hope

My Mamma says that I narrate stories well and I should write one on hope.

Yes, I have found hope during dark nights when moonlight sieved through the windows in my room;

I have found hope in the Twitter of birds and swaying trees;

I have found hope during unbearable physical pain;

I have found hope in the blind man trying to cross the road;

I have found hope in the rickshaw puller paddling to earn some more;

I have found hope in the struggle of a baby crawling on the floor;

Yes, I have found hope in the sunlight waiting to dawn upon us all;

I have found hope in the struggle people do to earn some more —— not money

but respect and love;

Yes, I have found hope and I will keep finding some ——

in every dark corner, in every difficult hour, in every melancholic moment

because I have seen many hopeless hours

but always found you —-

My dearest, Hope.
