Hope is...

Having Faith
believing
in enough
in the face of a child
the sigh after a kiss
sunrises
sunsets
another season, another reason
morning, afternoon and night
beginning, after an end
"hello" after "goodbye"
"yes" after "no"
"no" because there's something better
plans made and followed
dreams
a handshake
a smile
an up after down
birth
death and its promise
being "born again"
a reach down
a look up
a meeting
a vote
a phone call
email
a clock alarm and wake up
setting the alarm
setting a goal
the sound of your name
first Robin
coming in first
finishing a race in any place
doing your best
trying
quiet
noise
and you...especially, you!
