JUST A FOUR LETTER WORD

[Brenda Farrar-Ejemai]

JUST A FOUR LETTER WORD

Just a four letter word with powerful meaning

Something to hang onto when there is no rope left

Nothing tangible, nothing you can touch

Yet we cling to it, some for dear life

REALLY!

HOPE, the little four letter word

It has kept many holding on to it,

When there was no reason to trust its magic,

Nor its ability to keep them from falling

Can’t imagine the multitude of folk who depend on its ability to deliver

What would it be like without HOPE?

What would happen if it had an expiration date?

No doubt, a thunderous sound there would be

As those who were holding on, hanging on, to the last miniscule of a thread

EXPECTATIONS!

HOPING FOR THE BEST!

Now in mid-air with nothing left to hold onto -


THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP,
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP, THUMP…
