HOPE CHEST- BY LYNNIE C

When I think back and add up all
the “Maybe”s and the “Someday”s,
the “If Only”s and the “One Day”s,
I’m amazed at the precious currency
saved and stored away.
A miser hoarding her dreams 
in a chest filled with Hope – waiting…
Heavy pockets filled with gold coin wishes 
never fountain flipped.
That ends today.
Today I will share my riches,
spending lavishly.
Today I will drape myself in jewel toned joy,
scattering my love and light 
like stars across the night sky.
Today my hope chest is emptied and 
my hopeful heart is full
