Hope, anything that one wants, and at <br />the moment of 'hope' they do not have. <br /> <br />If hope were a feeling, I would hope, <br />it be one of honesty and integrity. <br />I would hope it would be love and empathy. <br /> <br />If hope were a food, I would hope it <br />would be filled with nourishment. <br /> <br />If hope were music, I would hope, it <br />was the kind of music, that you loved. <br /> <br />If hope were a sound, I would hope it <br />would by a symphony of love. <br /> <br />If hope were a religion, I would hope it <br />was your religion. <br /> <br />If hope were belief, then I would hope, <br />that belief would be, that there is one <br />Supreme Being; who is by-lingual and <br />of all faiths, and all creeds and colors. <br /> <br />If hope were knowledge, I would hope, <br />it had patience, understanding, the <br />ability of comprehending the other <br />persons point of view. I would also hope, <br />that it had an unquenchable thirst, <br />to continue to learn by experience and <br />research. <br /> <br />If hope could be seen, I would hope, all <br />would see, the good in their fellow man. <br /> <br />If hope were a wish, I would hope <br />that all your dreams, and ambitions <br />came true. <br /> <br />If hope were you...if hope were me, I <br />would hope, we never lost sight of <br />those less fortunate. I would hope <br />we would never be so self-centered <br />or busy, that we neglected to extend <br />a helping hand, to those in need. <br /> <br />Finally if you hope this ends, let me <br />conclude by saying.... <br /> <br />If hope were a human, I would hope, that it <br />realized, that if we want a better world, <br />then we have to be better ourselves. <br /> <br /> <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-good-thing-called-hope/
