Hope

All at once I'm filled with it,

with happy dreams too.

New friends?

Prince Charming?

Could it all have happened in 15 minutes?

As always, I am jumping the gun,

but what is the purpose of the gun if not to jump it?

I'm planting my hope with good seeds,

and digging up all the thistle and weeds.

And I'm hoping. Oh, I am hoping.
