Hopefully Waiting

My foolish heart holds on to hope, Someday I too will find my love, Only because of that, I cope With each day’s reality shove; Someday I too will find my love, Together we shall build our home, With each day’s reality shove, My life’s still etched in monochrome; Together we shall build our home, Raise a wonderful family, My life’s still etched in monochrome, Though soon hues will bloom happily; Raise a wonderful family, A whole new future awaits me, Though soon hues will bloom happily, I await God’s time and decree; A whole new future awaits me, Only because of that, I cope, I await God’s time and decree, My foolish heart holds on to hope. 04.04.2022

Congratulations, Jo!! What a beautiful poem! My favorite stanza is your last one! Each line is heartwarming! I stay positive for those very reasons "God's time and decree" and "hope for my foolish heart". Fantastic job! God bless and much love...Meghan!
