IF Hope
By Nora Eason •
 If hope could be a color
 It would be blue,
 as blue as the sky.
 If hope could be a taste,
 It would be a ripe strawberry.
 If hope could be a smell,
 It would be the smell of a rose.
 If hope could be a sound,
 It would be the sound of a harp.
 If hope could be a feeling,
 It would be the touch of a hand.
 If hope could be an animal,
 It would be a kitten purring.
 If we just had hope,
 We would not have to say,
   If hope!
 And say hope is.
