Without hope we are flawed and your fine words here help us to understand ourselves and others as we keep our thoughts pure and learn from our mistakes, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

The problem with many people's lives is they lack hope. One important step they fear taking is to trust, to have faith in others, life, God and in themselves. Without that puzzle piece, the picture of hope cannot be completed.

The reason Jesus lived and died to give us a reason for existence and the most important, "l know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, to prosper you and not harm, to give you a hope and a future." To give us hope, you have nailed the Lord's declaration in articulate and beautiful words in well ordered rhyme and meter, well done, blessings Roy

Great entry for the feeling of hope. So true that we can find home in many things in this life but in the end true hope cannot be found apart from the love of Jesus.

There is much to hope for in this life, and you have mentioned some if the best things. If our hopes are realized, so be it....if they're not, then we need to keep hope alive. I think this is a wonderful feelings poem, thanks for sharing. :)

You put a lot of thought and detail into your writing. I appreciate that and your hard work. I enjoyed it and the ending when you brought Jesus into it. For me personally tho it was a little long. But I enjoyed it.

I am glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I did put a lot of thought into it. I didn't think it was long though.

This poem shows all the things we hope for. It seems faith is always intertwined with hope. This is discussed in the last stanza.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.

Heartfelt paean to hope--fine choice for the theme of feeling--hope is an overarching emotion all can relate to. You made your point in plain, powerful words.
