Spring’s First Glimmer of Gold
those that cling to hope
while enduring life’s worries
claim the strongest luck

My thoughts but different words
This is really a mind bender. Is it positive to cling to hope or not because is the claim justified or not? Of course I do tend to complicate things.
I wrote this with the value of persistence in mind, but I do realize there is a fine line between persistence and self-dillusion
I’m not one to trust in luck, but hope—always. Winter is wonderful, but the first signs of spring are glorious. Very nice poem.
Beautiful!
