Only hope

         Oh how the layers sink in. The many levels of
ink disappears as the scratches surface the pale
freckled skin.

        Defined by the memories etched across time. My
blue eyes close only to blink back to alertness. Oh how
the sounds of water dripping brings echoes inside
my spirit.

        Words quake inside my mind as a memory unfolds.
A tiny whisper of hope. Not envious and not jealous just
a hope. One day.

        Still a tear of pain falls and then I gain strength
to dance. Twirling around until I collapse on the sofa.
Laughing. Taking steps back to recall the good in the
moment.

       Only on hope. Still clinging to possibility of an
opening. All is there so Jehovah will just keep me
busy until the layers fall.

        Hmm. Now continue in my Father's work. Until
the day of the hope arrives. One day indeed.

        Now off to pray for family, friends and all
those I met along the way today. So good it was
to have conversations even though at points they
seemed one side. As though a rushing that words
were only to hear me prattle.

       Alas I don't know nor do I care because
the surroundings made the day grand. The company
increased the smiles and hinted the great
joys in sighs.

      So dear friend I hope your day ended well.
I hope you still want sunshine and laughter. That
your still pray for a grand smile from siblings
and you get a chance to hold their presence.

    So enjoy your night and open the morning
light to a thanksgiving to Jehovah for having
moments of peaceful joy. Smile my friend.
