Late to the posting and the reading….but here I am. LOVE the affirmation in this post…and these words “Hope is the five-dollar bill in your jeans
That made it through the wash” made me smile. 🙂

Lillian, thank you. I don’t think t believe anyone can be disappointed when they find that $5. It’s ‘found’ money and it always brings a smile to your face ☺️ 💵

Love this especially; “Hope is a hand keeping your head above water/Someone saying a kind word.” Gorgeously worded, Christine 💝💝
The message in your beautifully crafted Anaphora is universal … thank you. I am sending it to a family member going thru a particularly difficult time.
“Hope is the five-dollar bill in your jeans
That made it through the wash”

Aww, thank you Gillena. For those without much hope, their needs are really simple. That $5 could decide whether they eat or not on that particular day. 😢
I love the way you’ve used rhythm and rhyme here – and I particularly like the way you shift “hope” in the last line, so that it’s literally “in the end”, but also the first and last word of the poem. I have a tough day coming up and this was a great way to start it – you made me smile.

Thank you so much Sarah! Hope jumped off your list for me and then I remembered the poem I had written before. Using repetition improved it a lot, so thank you! Hope your day was better than you expected. ☺️💕

Thank you dear Sanaa ☺️💕
“Hope is sometimes all we have”
That is so true–and how horrible it must be not to have hope at all.
Indeed Merrill 😢
Wonderfully stated. Hold on to hope.
Thank you Regina. Yes no one can take it away 💕
You’ve brought out the quality of hope that we forget…..how little it takes to give it, to see it, to feel it.
Yes Mish. No one can take it from us, yet we doubt it.
Very nicely done!
Thanks Dwight. Happy you liked it. ☺️
