| Hope
Coming soon in kit form.
Hope is like a robin appearing after
a long, white winter – a brief spotting,
a note of song heard. You just know better things
are on their way. Hope is my special value, the
one I am most protective of. It is my life buoy.
In my periods of depression, days
would stretch in front of me ... no end, no joy,
no pleasure. The best I could imagine was an absence
of sadness. As the depression faded, hope returned,
a ray of light at a time. But it felt so unfamiliar,
that it took awhile to identify what it was. When
I realized it was hope, I wanted to guard and
protect it and never lose it again.
Hope keeps us facing forward, keeps
us moving ahead, one tiny step at a time.
