Hope is Not Fragile

By Anonymous

Hope is not as fragile as it seems.
It does not have the solidarity of certainty,
But it has the steely resolve
To look ahead and see our dreams.

Hope may flutter like feathers in our chest.
But it is a platform of courage
And though it may tremble
It provides comfort and rest.

Hope helps us to continue to see
The dreams and goals we have made.
It keeps us present and aware
So they do not fade, nor will we.
