Rays of hope flicker
In the eyes of a young child
Our future is bright

Poetry Palace
Thursday Poet’s Rally
AND
Each week Carry On Tuesday will publish either a famous quotation or a line from a book, song or poem and invite you to Carry On where words stop. You may use some of the words or all of them either at the start of your piece or within the body of your work.
“I thought it only fitting to feature a seasonal song this week.
The first line from “When a Child is Born” goes like this :
“A ray of hope flickers in the sky”
“Use them as part of your poem or story …”

I have the word: “Hope” welded on a rod and stuck in the ground next to my back door. It never fails to surprise me each time I see it. I often get wrapped up in the 2011 daily review. Thanks for the reminder.
