My flower garden the seeds I sow
Make soft soil so air it can breathe
Barricade with fence laid like wreath
In hope my flower will someday grow
I thought my flower my life so agile
And which one more fragile
The one that cared for life ahead
Or one that life cared for instead
In hope I live in hope I dream
Like river taketh in every stream
And all rivers to sea will go
So ocean lives in hope of sea to show
The mighty ocean in hope surround
Vast its domain and depth abound
To my little flower garden I groom
A glimmer of hope it will bloom
Such is hope and hope as such
Give it upfront or on the sly
A little bit if not too much
Seldom all I need to get by
Survived wan disease and malady
Filtered thru life’s microscope
Outlasted pain of tedious remedy
Killed only when robbed of hope
