If there was ever a day to talk about hope, it would be Monday. Almost everyone has hope on Monday. We hope the week goes by quickly, (wishing our lives away 5 days at a time) we hope for our work day to go smoothly,(as if they ever do) we hope for the hangover(physical or mental) to disappear. And the usual; we hope our family and friends will be safe and healthy, to win the lottery, world peace and other issues of importance to each of us in our lives.
But without hope, there aren’t any bright days, only a seemingly endless supply of dark days full of despair, foul temperament and negative attitudes. Personally, I’ll take the positivity that hope has to offer and eschew the negative. Where there is life, there is hope!
I HOPE that we all have a bright and positive Monday,
Jake.

The Birth Of Hope
With the dawn
of a new day
with a thought
of a new way
or a sprout
in the spring
the fledgling
on wing
all signal
the birth of hope.
For without it
we’re doomed
to a life
of sheer gloom
feeling never
the light
seeing only
the night
and with darkness
e’er must we cope.
