The Places Where Hope Lingers

Life happens in all those little unnoticed moments.

I find you . . .
In the curious eyes of the newborn
Sparkling and full of questions.
They urge me to go beyond the known
March towards the unseen
And explore things that lie unexplored.

I find you . . .
In the gentle blooming of the rose buds
Embracing beauty with the advent of spring.
They inspire me to tread on the unwalked path
Welcome novel experiences
And spread my fragrance wherever I leave my footsteps.

I find you . . .
In the starlit sky of a quiet night
Impregnated with the scent of love in the air.
It stirs me to drive destiny in my chosen way
And embark on a journey
Full of surprises and twists.

I find you, Hope!
In those everyday mundane things
That happen around me, that happen within me.
Thank you for enlightening me
For lighting up that undying spark
That keeps me so very much alive.
