Her Hope

She’s little

Not even 8

But she has hope 

Hope that shines

Through her blue eyes

Hope that dances

Across her face

Just like how she

Dances in the rain

Listening to Taylor Swift 

Not a care in the world 

She hopes 

For things she doesn’t quite 

Understand 

But she knows 

Things need to be better

Her hope 

Is like a hug

Warm

Steady 

Something to keep me

Hoping

Her hope

Is shiny and sparkly

Like her plastic crown 

That she wears

When she’s the princess

Of unicorn world

Her hope

Is beautiful
