recovery from
economic ills
slow to come
good times
for many
gone forever
houses gone
cars gone
work gone
loved ones
gone
hope
gone
TV people
read reports
economy recovering
companies post profits
how they wonder
cut costs
cut jobs
cut people
sense of purpose
lost
someone somewhere
needs help
don't look away
ask
how can I
help you today

Interesting how we're both looking at different perspectives of "hope".
My mom is visiting some friends in Madeira Beach Fla. in a few weeks. Are you anywhere near there?

Hi, I've popped over from Kat's blog. I enjoyed browsing through your poetry.

The local papers have been full of "heavy thoughts". It is easy to get caught up in my own survival mode.
Your mom is going to the west coast, I am on the east coast in the city of Wellington.
