Hope Gives Lightness To The Child Poem by Patti Masterman

Hope Gives Lightness To The Child

Rating: 5.0


Hope gives lightness to the child
That gives him strength to fly
To places not yet dreamed of,
For in his heart so wild

Are running streams as free,
As ever child could wish to find,
And love enables him to see
With eyes much older than they be.

His words still innocent and mild
May blur the line of cause, effect:
His stumbling tongue is not his fault;
He speaks in childhood's dialect.
