Hope Deferred


When is the brighter day coming?
I thought I ordered it years ago?
Seems I lost the “tracking number” for it, can’t research the Lost & Found of Hopes and Dreams Deferred Department to locate its whereabouts.
How often can one hear …”no – not today, it hasn’t arrived yet, we are checking on it for you, please comeback, again – tomorrow” before hope, desire, will…fades?

Thought your smile meant something, thought your reemergence was the sign of the hoped for day’s final approach – but now another delay.
Yes, yes I know…”a delay is not a denial”
…but I guess it’ll do until the denial gets here….pessimistic, I know – but you see life has taught us all lessons and even if the lesson plan was flawed we were still taught it…this requires constant reprogramming…but even that gets wearisome – zaps my core. I now have to go in and reprogram the old incorrect lessons, those lessons of loss (not real), those lessons of despair (an illusion), those lessons of less than (we live in GOD’s abundance).

The world and I need a change…this is all too familiar, this warfare, this economic collapse, this race – baiting, cop hating, evil empire creating - life…the cat and mouse game, the offer and the take away…must end my friend.
When will hope, faith and love…remain?
