Hope

Reaching up.
Believing.
Pushed lower.
Head Lifted.
Smacked down.
Catching a breath.
Counting to ten.
Wind knocked away.
Sun Shining.
Brisk Walks.
Alive.
Falling flat.
Good news.
A breakthrough.
No response.
Holding the stare.
Gone.
Devastation.
Get up again, again, and again.....
Always hope.
