Hope Enough to Share

Poetry Sunday

I see hope in raindrops
and budding trees
in yellow daffodils
and puffy white clouds

I hold hope’s hand
as I walk to the park
with my grandson

I hear hope in laughter
as my fingers trace
the soft cheek
of my new granddaughter

I taste hope in a meal
prepared with love
and shared with family

I feel hope in the jab
of a vaccination
and in the eyes
of masked strangers

I see hope everywhere
so let’s you and me
each grab a piece

there’s hope enough to share

This poem is my last piece with

P.S. I Love You
