A poem about hope.

Hello and welcome to Friday. Today I will be sharing a poem I wrote at my last writers’ group meeting. I like it. I hope you do too. I have thankfully found hope again after losing it a bit over the past few months. I hope you have found hope too.

I got to the top of the mountain.

and what I was beautiful.

A beautiful untouched world.

Full of beautiful creatures and the like.

The climb wasn’t easy.

Then again, nothing is.

The mountainside was like a slip ‘n’ slide.

I once thought I was the biz.

I started the climb.

When I learned to walk.

I knew where I was going.

Before I knew how to talk.

I got to the top of the mountain again.

But now I didn’t like what I did see.

People hurting people.

Being as angry as they can be.

I see hope on top of this mountain.

I see people laugh and hug.

If we want to know the secret to happiness

That’s the best medicine for us.

Have a lovely weekend and I will see you on Monday. Thank you for reading and thank you for your time.
