Hope

Hope springs eternal in the human breast, if it didn't, we wouldn't be like all the rest who have gone before.
Hope is like a tiny seed,
that has been carefully stored,
then planted in the
fertile soil of faith,
to await the springtime of life.
Forever and eternally,
hope keeps springing up,
something we may not
know or understand,
continually, ever new.
A man may know he is
going to die sometime,
yet, way ahead he
sees a ray of hope.
He still clings to
that last straw,
even gropes through
darkness if he has to,
until it dims his thoughts
and fills him with fright,
he still dreams that the
light of hope will fill the night.

[TheFlexEffect]

faith & hope are 2 legendary sluts

they've been screwing the masses for ages...

[mysticdave666]

@TheFlexEffect Sure they are...if your faith and hope are blind or based on the assumptions of the power elite that use it to control....there are differing degrees to everything...just follow the heart and not outside sources and you will find your own hope and faith.... :)

I will take Wisdom and Willpower over

Faith and Hope anytime.

That being said love your work,

It's always good to know that after every dark winter season there is the springtime to look forward to. Maybe life itself is like the four seasons. If dying means the darkest of winter, you hope that the next season after death is spring, whereever that may be. I like your work. Greetings from the Netherlands.
