A poem about HOPE by a HOPE’r

HOPE

When I first arrived and met you all
I listened and thought "MY GOD" you know it all
My thoughts were that I had missed the boat
Not able to talk or sing a note
But as I listened to you all speak
Some of it was sinking in deep
And then one day I realized
What I had learned to my surprise
HOPE is a place I need to be
In person with others, or mentally
What I had received from others there
I carry in my heart every where
When things are just too much to bear
I know that you are all still there
My mind and heart is filled with you.
I can feel your hugs and hear your music too
What I have gained from knowing you
Is that every day you get me through.
