If hope may be belief what may
not seem possible has its way
Then I wouldnt ever choose to
relinquish hope just for today
I would store it safely in my mind
and retrieve it periodically
To check it over and evaluate
how it resonates with me
I would ask myself key questions accessing what its worth
Does it somehow touch my soul
in a way no other thing could do
Does this thing that I still have
elicit memories that make me laugh
And how about the other emotions
is there grief that makes me sad
This thing that no one else can see
in quite the way I can
Does it still retain its value
is there a bigger picture planned
Will a future me be willed to see
even deeper layers to this thing
Is that a question for a thing expected
or hope in what may future bring
Not a thing that can be planned
with knowledge of the outcome
Only keeping certain faith in
the benefit of hard earned wisdom
That the tragedy of today
will one day serve a higher purpose
When there\'s seems to be no other reason it may be just the thing that serves us
