Five Minute Friday-Hope

Start:

Hope

Belief

Faith

Vision

Hope within my heart and my mind

Built upon my faith and the truth

Moves my hands and my feet

Propels my love

Holds my hand

Shines the light

Holds me close

Hope builds

Hope marches on

Hope sits and cries

Hope gets up and shakes off the dust

Hope holds my chin up

Hope ties me with others

Hope is the beautiful flower

The seeds that are flung wide

Hope lies green under the grass

Hope is the trunk of the tree

Hope is spring of the river

Hope is map that guides me

Hope heals.

Stop.

After fixing the shoestrings and the coat was on the way he wanted and I showed him the edge of the sidewalk and where we would walk...we were off. A dried piece of weed draped across an edge of the sidewalk, and I bent down to check it out. He followed my lead and bent in half beside me. I broke a piece off and gave him half and continued on our way. Have you ever took a walk with a toddler? And looked at things the way they do? The broken sticks in the gutter, the ice and the small patch of snowing clinging to life are all gold to these little explorers. A little encouragement is all they need to sift for treasure along the way. A smooth stone sat contentedly on the driveway of a house. I stopped to admire...
