Hope Floats

Some refer to it as Fate.

Others call it Hope.

I think of it as Faith.

It’s not just hoping

that today will be a good one—

That my assistant will do the work right

so I don’t have to redo it . . .

That the coffee will be hot and ready . . .

That there’ll be a parking spot

close to the door . . .

It’s not even wondering

if finances will cover things

Like a new car . . .

The kids’ education . . .

Retirement . . .

It’s the assurance that

there is more to come

after all this time on earth is through.

Knowing that pain and suffering

will be a thing of the past.

That anger, loneliness, heartache

will be no more.

That heaven holds more joy,

more peace, more love

Than I can even imagine, because

Hope Floats

on the Wings of Angel
