Hope

by Michelle Demeree 

What does hope mean to me?

I believe that in life,

                                                                          we need to have

                                                                                                                                                                   faith and hope.

                                           A sick family member,

                                                                         like my parent, brings new feeling to the

                                                                                                                           meaning of hope.

                           So hard.

                                                                  Hard to deal with.

                                                                                                                           We must pray for hope.

                                                                                   We must pray for God to give us hope.
