100 Words On Hope

This is Velvet Verbosity's 100 Words Challenge-write a post of exactly one hundred words centered on a given topic. This week's challenge is "Hope". The Blog Nosh Magazine Loads of Hope carnival is located here , hoping to bring attention and buzz towards Tide's "Loads of Hope" program, which is bringing a mobile laundromat to Americans affected by disasters.


Here's my entry.

"We chose him. He told us to hope. He told us he was hope.

We chose him, people still strive, and suffer, and get sick, and die.

We chose him, people still cry, rage, scream and shout.

We chose him, people still lie, cheat, and steal.

We chose him. He can't fix it all. Maybe no one can.

People still reach out, hold hands, extend words of comfort.

People still hug, and kiss, and hold, and wonder at the sky.

People still love, and marry, and hold new babies.

We chose him, and we go on, and there is hope."
