Hope

there are many reasons to hope

the kindness of a friend

the animals we have in our lives

dogged determination in the face of immovable invisible forces

i love to throw a rope

to ride a horse as fast as he or she can go,

and then,

throw a rope from the back of that bolt of lightning straight enough..

straight enough to lay a loop over the horns of a Steer sprinting like Usain Bolt..

and you hope to dally fast enough not to lose a finger.

hope..

reasons for hope even though it cost too much to fill up your truck or car..?

may have to be a little more discerning on how much I get in and go..

or then again..

we may start seeing more and more cars abandoned on the sides of roads..

but this won't stop us from hoping..

will it?

or finding someone to help you sell your new album or whatever you have to sell..

it's like trying to find a door in a long dark hallway..

but you keep on hoping..

and most of all..

we hope because we think we are pretty sure that the One Who made us loves us..
