Hope

Hope

Hope floats

On a lily pad in a calming stream

As a toad jumps from lily pad to lily pad

Hoping he doesn’t fall in

The butterfly

Hopes she lives a long time

As her painted wings

Bring some natural, understated bling

The Queen bee

Hopes her workers make lots of lavender honey

I hope the sun does shine

The rain does fall

I hope I make another snowball

I hope to breathe in every word

I hope to watch words fall into place

I hope to write poetry most days
