Hope is much like faith, <br />But on steroids. <br />When there is an extra boost to faith needed, <br />All the stops are pulled out! <br />And every prop within reach is used. <br /> <br />The 4-leaf clovers. <br />Rabbit's foot. <br />The crossing of fingers... <br />And the calling of 'phychics' come into play. <br />When something is wanted to the point of agitation... <br />All tactics are considered and tried.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
