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
