HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE - HOPE




“Never deprive someone of hope, it might be all they have.”



and

A golden moon upon the tide,  
Its glow reflected far and wide.  
Twinkling stars in velvet sky,  
Whispering dreams as waves drift by.  

A lighthouse stands with steadfast grace,  
Its beacon guiding through the space.  
While on the sea, with sails unfurled,  
A crimson yacht explores the world.  

Upon its sail, a dove takes flight,  
Clutching hope in wings so light.  
An olive branch in gentle hold,  
A promise cast in moonlight’s gold

Through mist that dances soft and white,   
Hope sail’s on, a guiding light.

  11. When you lose hope all is lost, unfortunately. I can only imagine the dread of Jews being unloaded from the cattle cars at Auschwitz, facing their short walk to the gas chambers.

    1. Very true David and this is something I often think of. When we hear stories of Ann Frank for instance, but her diaries live on thanks to her father who was the only survivor in his family :*( We have to cling to hope more than ever now.

  15. losing all hope is a deadly thing for the person who loses it. I was in that hole and have had to struggle for months to get back to having hope, depression is hard to get rid of and HOPE is the answer and also hard to get back when lost
