Hope is When

The Little Bird Flies
By: the iHope Poet

Hope is an ambitious word. 
It is a term which illustrates anticipation, 
Faith, endurance. 
Through hope a survivor is born,
Success is achieved, 
New beginnings are created. 

Hope is a forgetful thing. 
It is the epitome of forgiveness and 
Relinquishing fear of the past to grasp hold of the future. 
By so doing, a broken dream is mended,
The little bird flies, and
Shadows become hints of light yet to shine. 

Hope is completely determined.
Though it fades into lighter shades at times 
It will always prevail, with proud colors waving, at destination's mark. 
And during the darkest of nights, 
Hope may be the smallest spark, 
Yet it burns the brightest of any fiery warmth. 

In the end, Hope is unending. 
No measure of bitter defeat can keep it down, for
It is ever rising. 
And the last goodness in this world will rejoice for Hope's sake --
For the fear it is not, the weakness it will never succumb to, 
And the limits which it cannot, and will not, comprehend.
