Hope

Pay it forward every time;

let it be a habit.

When a wonder happens

roll it onward down the line.

.

Give it to a neighbour

or some random frowning stranger.

Pass it on and on and on

and watch it raise a smile.

.

See it put a twinkle

in the eyes of little people.

Watch it make a tired man

walk the extra mile.

.

Keep it while you need it

but be sure to pay it forward.

I’ve heard it springs eternal

if you nurture it a while.
