Hope

How does hope manifest itself?  


Wishes to come true ...
Wants to become real ...
Needs to be met...


Anticipation of the future...
Desire for change...
Willpower to look ahead...


Prayer for what's to come...
Trust that next time will be better...


A deep breath before the next step...
Grace and courage to take that next step...


I was asked to paint these flowers by a dear friend who'd just endured a tragic and life-altering loss.  She wanted this memory to become an image that brought her hope when she felt hopeless.  Change didn't come in a hurry, but it did come.


Hallelujah!
