Hope

Lately I have been contemplating hope. Hope has been lacking for some time in my life, for whatever reason. The only real dream I have is to have a telescope some time. I used to be filled with hopes and dreams and don't like being without them. So, I am going to hope and dream again, do things maybe I always wanted, or try to anyway.
Today for some reason, I feel there is hope for the world, the war in Iraq and elsewhere. Peace will come, too slow for some of us maybe, but it will come, I am sure of it. I don't know how or when, but it will be here. The lives lost have not been in vain, yet freedom isn't free! Patience my friends, and peace be to all.
