Thank you kindly. It’s sort of a silly little poem, but it’s certainly a reflection of my estranged relationship with hope. I appreciate you and your constant support. Hope your weekend is wicked good! 😊

😄 and your weekend, too! (And the poem’s not silly — its content is somehow even more thought-provoking in its brevity.)

It’s unexpected, but I resonate with this on a deeply personal level, Mike. It’s short and to the point. Hope often leads me along that winding road, with despair giggling at the end.
