Hope Chest

A hope chest standing empty

By the foot of the bed

Brings to mind

Times long ago

Loves of yesteryear

Forgotten

But not completely lost

We collect trinkets

To start a new life

But what if we never start over?

Never begin anew?

Is hope lost forever?

Or is it left sitting

In an empty chest

At the foot of the bed?
