Is it only when young that we have faith? <br />Does hope in humanity fade with age? <br />Our loss of hope is a way to stay safe. <br />Our pessimism is merely a cage. <br />In people chose not to look for the bad. <br />In humanity strain to find the good. <br />Pray that common evils are a fad. <br />Try to look beyond faults if you could. <br />There are inevitable evils here. <br />There are guaranteed evils everywhere. <br />Hold the good next to you heart, keep it dear. <br />Just look for it and know there's good there. <br />Don't build your life around the almighty bill. <br />If you chose to see the good in us you will.<br /><br />Jillian Scott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-no-1/
