Hope

Standing tall, standing proud.

A knight in clicking armour loud.

Promising gifts of fruit and joy,

Desperation to the poor, to the rich a toy.

The indomitable spirit, the fire, the kindle.

Possessed by all from king to spinner of the spindle.

It keeps us going on and on.

The reason we work through dusk through dawn.

And at the end of the day if the knight fails us,

There is always the next so we don't fuss.

The spirit of progress, the harbinger of doom,

A thought which arises from our mind's room.
