Hope

Smile, broad and warm

Sometimes timid and quiet

Always present.

Waiting to be noticed.

I’ll open my arms

to embrace you.

Overcome you,

like a bear.

I expand.

Large with the contact, the sharing.

A tall, northern lad,

Playful, joking, nudging

encouraging, inspiring.

I breed.

Formidable,

when enough people

grab a hold.

Powerful beyond measure

when those who choose,

use me to grow,

to push on

And create the change

they want to see in the world
