Happy Easter Poem by Jim Yerman

In a world fraught with peril…when we sometimes find it hard to cope
Easter arrives to remind us…there is always room for hope.

Hope for a better world than this and though disheartened by what we see
It is our hope through our unhappiness that shapes our destiny.

Hope is believing there is light somewhere in the darkness…
hope is the fuel that allows our heart to run…
and though we may be disappointed with today…
hope rises anew tomorrow with the sun.

For the beauty of a better future is the hope tomorrow brings…
The hope that Spring will follow Winter…and Summer follows Spring

Hope that, one day, we will realize we all have but one home…Earth is what she's named…hope we will one day find the ability to treat everyone the same.

Hope for a world of peace and love…where everyone is free
living our lives together…in friendship and harmony.

Hope that when each one of us is gone
from the eyes of our friends and family happy tears will drop like dew.
Hope we've left behind some sighs…some smiles…
and a happy memory…or two

When the fate of the world around us…
seems to be hanging by the thinnest strand of a rope…
Easter comes around to remind us…
never to stop loving
and never give up hope.
