A Spark of Hope

The Lantern Tree

By: the iHope Poet

In the blackness of the night

When there was nothing left to see,

I did glimpse you with the light

Hanging a lantern on a tree.

The tree was tallest that there was

And then the brightest place to shine.

No, I am not so scared because

There’s no more darkness left to fight.

May we all choose to be the ones to hang a lantern on the tree, 

for everyone who's left in the darkness to see. 

:) Smile!

No Matter What

My Side, Here!
By: the iHope Poet

You can try to tell me
That I’m fighting on the losing side.
You can push me down,
Just to see me get back up.

No, I won’t give up.

I believe in what I do,
 So you can never win;
Not when I’m around,
For I will never lose.
I refuse
To let you pull ‘round every string.
I want to sing
My “everything” right here.

So don’t tell me that
I'm wrong
That over there is where I belong.
I’ll only listen if you tell me the truth.
And I don’t mind
if
I let you see me fly, because
I know that in the end
I’ll only be helping you
See...
