Hope:
A feeling of anticipation and desire for a sure thing to happen to us
A possibility, a glimmer a spark that can grow, something to yearn for.
A real Belief that something will happen.
A symbol of something that brings us together,
a rainbow after a rainstorm or flood.
A poppy in November, a star at Christmas and a Cross at Easter!
A unity that entails we are in it together, and we stand together.
A march for a cause to bring about change, a belief in fairness!
We sometimes see a little glimmer of hope, in the people around us,
In a smile or a wave from a loved one or a little child smiling and looking through innocent eyes.
Hope is seeing people fight for what is right.
Hope is seeing people change other’s perceptions.
Hope is being rooted in the kind of God we believe in.
Hope is believing in the grace of God and being affectionate towards one another.
Hope is Imitating God in our lives, removing the darkness of our past and receiving the love offered.
Hope is not giving up and keep trying for change, pushing forward and believing that things will happen.
Hope is celebrating the losses and the wins because we have hope.
Black lives matter, and one day we will sit down together at the table of friendship and hope.
And we will not need hope anymore, because no one will be judged by the colour of their skin or the country of their birth. We shall be judged by the content of our character and the example we lead to others.
New Psalms
