Crossing the Finish Line

Is hope more of a wish or a prayer?
Does it have to do with string?
Is it a goal or objective or song?
Or just some everyday thing?

Does hope spring eternal as the poem says
or perhaps the poems are just mush
I’d like to spend some time thinking of Hope
But I fear I’m in quite a rush.

You see, this is the poem at the end of the line
the line is the day oh, so long
I wish you well and hope many things
None to be construed as wrong

The marathon took twenty-four hours this time
It does every year, yes, that is true
Your successful completion is what you achieved
At least that is my hope for you.

  1. Congratulations on finishing the marathon!

    These lines so clearly describe much of my life these days: “I’d like to spend some time thinking of Hope / But I fear I’m in quite a rush.” Well said!
