A THOUGHT OF HOPE

It was a cool evening; between the hours of 19:00 and 19:30

Oh, how beautiful the sky was!

A cloudy fainted royal blue sky

Sky without stars, yet stunning

There she was; seated on Couch ‘95

She wore her favorite pink patterned shift dress

Surfing through her inner mind, lost in thoughts

It was more like a reflection of the prior year

The year didn’t go as she had envisioned

The good, the bad and the ugly

Some times were hard, some fair others unexplainable

Despite it all, she was happy

She was happy, knowing all her loved ones are alive

That fact alone gave her joy

She was grateful, knowing it could have been worse but it wasn’t

That fact alone made her obsessively grateful

All she can hope for is a better year ahead

A year filled with love, light and life

Success and the baby girl life she had always longed for

How amazing would the new year be, she thought?
