Hope

Hope springs eternal!  And so they say
that skies will turn blue soon after they’re gray;
the darkest of nights will be followed by day,
and sunshine will chase all the clouds away.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst — 
a precept that’s posed so bubbles won’t burst.
Expecting to fail shouldn’t be rehearsed,
for visions of doom can leave you accursed.

Worry and dread, plus dismal advice,
amount to your making a sacrifice.
It’s best to hone in on dreams that entice
since positive thoughts are Heaven’s device.

Surely your thinking can be rewired
to grant you the dreams that have you inspired.
Just focus with passion and do what’s required,
then hope can bring everything you’ve desired!
