Hope Lives

by jusylee72

Penning Hope Contest Winner 
To hope, to dream,To live, to scheme
To do, what you think's right
To laugh, to cry and say goodbye
To sadness in the night

To find a place where laughter lives
Where others only cry
To make a choice to care, to give
when some men choose to die

To give your last potato
To someone who has naught
To never let them take from you
The morals you've been taught

Why some men lived and some men died
Despite the tortured days
why some men turn to God inside
while others walked away

The strength that comes from deep inside
when no love can be found
The one whose thoughts he will not hide
when fear is all around

If evil comes and takes the sun
with all the death it brings
I hope that I will be the one
who stands up tall and sings










Writing Prompt
Pen a poem in no more than twenty-four lines that rhyme on what hope means to you.

Thanks for this public domain photo of a young girl singing in a concentration camp. I found it in the archives of the Holocaust museum. That picture says it all.
