Young and hung with fresh greenery <br />Stands hope, bursting with dreams, leafing <br />Itself warily over drab feelings, <br />Flirting insistently, being <br />Strongly assertive with leanings <br />Against overly sad, hope strives to beam <br />With verdant new and meaningful <br />Life, and buds before us rich gleaming <br />Views, emerald lakes, seas of acquamarine, <br />Courts us with unstained hues, appeals <br />For reviews of joys we have seen <br />As aids, accepting that what might have been <br />Could yet be still. Hope is evergreen.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/colour-of-hope/
