This piece is dedicated to the many hopes I have for the world amid so much negativity. I know it's not much, but may this give some small semblance of determination and will to someone who needs it. Keep your head high and your heart higher.
Today I hope the woman who feels lost
Finds clarity in a world that tries to control her down to her biology
May you find support within these words
Today I hope the child who feels unloved
Finds warmth in a world that implies they are not wanted or never will be
May you find a kindred flame in this message
Today I hope the person who feels defeated
Finds strength in the stars
May the cosmos be channeled here as a small guide
Today I hope a good deed is done unto someone who truly needs it
May they feel the power of love today
I say 'thank you,' in advance
Today I hope someone finds the inner strength they believed was never there
May you wield it wisely and cautiously
Let this piece serve as encouragement to your endeavors
Today I hope that a dream is brought back to life
May the energy that was never placed there create a pulse in the deepest of hopes
Today I hope any lingering doubts diminish without a trace
May you be lead to a happy and healthy place
Allow this poem the space to push you forward
On days that are difficult it can seem impossible
To maintain
To love
To be strengthened
To dream
To be positive
But I hope that all of these find you
And keep you and remind you
That you are so important and worth everything and more
In a world where things make no more sense than they did in the last hour
I hope, yes, today I hope you find clarity
That you latch onto that certainty and push forward
Allow my words to be an inkling of support in this wide universe
Today I hope you felt loved and encouraged here
Please take this energy with you into the world and beyond
