Journal entry:
April Poem A Day Challenge, poem twenty-six:
Hope
I was so lonely,
My son was gone far away,
Sadness dogged my days;
Then one Sunday after church
My life was drastically changed.
Wal-Mart’s parking lot
Held the sweet surprise needed
To bring me bright smiles;
Shih Tzu puppies were on sale
And one captured my whole heart.
Mom and I went in
The store to shop, but I was
Caught in intense thought;
I decided I could not
Quite afford a puppy dog.
When we went outside
Mom suggested that I should
Get the little pup;
She convinced me it was right
So I bought the pretty girl.
On the way back home
We discussed giving her an
Appropriate name;
Mom suggested Hope because
She would need it to survive.
Hope became her name
And every day she has brought
Brightness to my life;
She is my sweet companion
Bringing me great happiness.

Hope…
Hope lounging on the table… Ah, yeah, I know dogs don’t belong on tables, but she is so cute.
I am grateful:
1. I am taking Mom to the doctor tomorrow.
2. I have the honor of working with one of my friends on his manuscript.
3. My dog, Hope, is such a blessing to me.
4. Mom enjoyed the supper I cooked.
5. The April Platform Challenge for today is easily done.
I hope you have had a good Thursday. If you can do something creative now. Every day you should exercise your talents.
I hope you enjoy my blog. If so, please subscribe or come back often and by all means leave me a comment.
Always,
Jo Ann
