  1. HOPE

    Hope,
    What a strange thing,
    Like a candle,
    It can blow out in the wind,
    Or share its light with,
    Anyone around it.

    Hope,
    What a misleading thing,
    So many people confide in it,
    In its spirit.
    People feel free,
    In its presence,
    They feel complete.
    As if everything will be fine,
    Even though the harsh cold truth of reality
    Is the exact opposite.

    Hope,
    What a wonderful thing,
    If you think of life as an incomplete puzzle,
    Hope fills up the gaps,
    But only temporarily,
    Some of us find the missing pieces,
    But most of us never do.

    So in the end,
    What is hope?
    Hope is a candle and
    Hope is a spirit and
    Hope is a puzzle.
    Hope is the thing that will get us through
    This storm.

    And when it ends,
    And when it does,
    Hope will be the thing that will be with us again.
    But most importantly,
    Hope is the thing that lives at the bottom of my heart
    In the little girl that hides inside of me.
    So Hope, in the end, is me.

  2. That is Hope

    Hope is everywhere,
    Just believe in it,
    And it will come,
    That is Hope.

    Hope is everywhere,
    Even when you’re feeling down and desolate,
    Isolated from the world,
    Feel like all the life has been drained out of you,
    There’s still a lightbulb glowing,
    That is Hope.

    Hope is everywhere,
    Also a part of you,
    Never giving up,
    Always trying again,
    That is Hope.

  3. Think about Hope.

    What is it?

    Is it like a book,

    Where the good guys win

    And everything is well?

    Or like a bird,

    Soaring gracefully on the wind

    Not a care, no boundaries?

    Or like a candle,

    Which never burns out

    Always a bright spark?

    Or a tree or a flower,

    Drooping every autumn

    Then Hope brings them back to the beauty of Spring?

    Well, I’ll tell you the answer

    Hope is

    A book

    A bird

    A candle

    A flower

    Hope is anything and everything

    You just have to see it

    Somewhere inside you

    Because it’s always there

    Just find it.

  4. A wonderful thing,

    It keeps us going,

    And Keeps Life flowing,

    A fantastic thing,

    Hoping A Tree will give us breath,

    Hoping A Life won’t end in death,

    An extravagant thing,

    Like a butterfly,

    Or a magpie,

    A magnificant thing,

    A thing that is everywhere,

    A thing that is anywhere,

    A thing called HOPE.

  5. HOPE

    What is hope you say

    it is an amazing thing to own

    don’t worry you don’t need to pay

    Remember you are not alone

    When problems don’t seem right

    everyone has it from time to time

    Hope always shines bright

    dont worry it’s not a crime

    Hope is always in you

    it’s like a shooting star

    it never turns blue

    it’s not a bizarre

    Hope is the one that keeps us flowing

    it’s the one that keeps us together

    Unitedly we will stay glowing

    forever and ever

    1. hope is wonderful,
      don’t you think?
      hope never gives up,
      keep on believing,

      hope is extraordinary,
      don’t you think?
      hope always amazes you,
      hope can give you super powers like a super hero,

      hope brings us together,
      together we can make hope feel like home,
      hope is a word we should learn,

      hope is the only choice for the world to evolve,
      never ever give up hope,
      because that’s the only way the world should go.

  6. Hope

    Glowing pale like moonlight,
    Graceful, fluttering, soaring, gliding,
    Softening hardships, making you happy,
    A pinprick of warmth; a light in the darkness.

    Burning inside you, helping you cope,
    Flaring in the wind, fading in the storm,
    Giving light to, giving warmth to,
    And lighting a spark in: others.

    It dances, it twirls, it flickers,
    When you think, and when you pray,
    Forever hiding inside you; being you,
    Inside your heart, inside your mind.

    A prayer, a thought, a feeling,
    A heart, a shard, a moonbeam,
    A candle, a match, a firework:
    Ever-changing hope.

    Bella Dickins-Woodhall (Thornhill Primary School – Y6 Meteors)

  7. Hope

    Somewhere in your heart
    Lies a hidden hope
    You have probably never noticed it
    Especially when you can’t cope

    When you feel glum and desolate
    Isolated from the rest of the world
    In a-never-ending-abyss
    Like the whole world is upon your shoulders

    Hope is exuberance
    Hope is laughter
    Hope is joy
    Hope is your creation

    Maddie Michaelides (Thornhill Primary School – Y6 Meteors)

  8. Hope

    You can’t see hope with the naked eye,
    You can’t even see it with glasses ,
    Hope shelters you from doubt,
    Hope can happen in the darkest abyss.

    Hope is like the wind,
    Hope is like the sea,
    Like them it will last longer than either you or me,
    Like a goddess you can’t see or touch,
    but whose presence you can feel and trust.

    If you lose hope, you lose courage,
    You lose confidence – you lose everything.
    Life is full of struggle but hope brings you up
    Hope helps you get through it all.
    Hope isn’t eternal but it stays with you for eternity…

    Rose Brooks-Velasquez (Thornhill Primary School – Y6 Meteors)

  9. Hope is hope
    Like how pasta is pasta
    So if I like pasta then I like hope.

    So hope is good
    Hope is not bad
    Hope helps us all the time
    Even when we’re sad.

    So keep on eating pasta
    And keep on counting on hope
    Hope will never let you down
    Like when you’re cleaned with a bar of soap.

    Tristan Shackleford (Thornhill Primary School – Y6 Meteors)

  10. We use hope all the time,
    Everywhere we go, hope is there,
    Hope follows you everywhere.

    Hope is a feeling of aspiration and desire,
    Hope makes you feel like you’re in heaven,

    Hope takes you on a journey anywhere.
    But in the end, hope is everywhere.

    Jack Swanne (Thornhill Primary School – Y6 Meteors)

  12. Hope,
    A mystery,
    Like magic,
    Swirling around you,
    Waltzing and prancing.

    Hope,
    The smiles from the people around you,
    Shimmery stardust,
    Falling into your hands,
    Glittering like the sun.

    Hope,
    Like nature,
    Always a good side,
    Where birds twitter,
    And the sun shines.

    The torch leading the way,

  14. Hope is in the air,
    Hope comes when you care.

    hope is everywhere,
    Never give up on hope.

    Hope can fill a whole rainbow,
    Hope can fill a heart of joy,
    Hope can fill a whole class.

    Hope is everywhere,
    never give up on hope.

    Hope makes you smile,
    Hope it makes you happy,
    Hope is that thing that gives you light.

    Hope you find hope in memories,

    You find Hope in friends,
    You find hope in laughter.

    Hope is everywhere,
    never give up on Hope.

    If you don’t have hope you can’t believe
    I found hope by believing.

  15. Minutes go by…Tick…Tock…

    Hours go by…Tick…Tock…

    Glancing at the clock

    Staring out of the window,

    It was filled with leaves dancing in the streets.

    The wind howled while the tree branches swayed.

    Wanting to go outside but deep down something tells me it’s IMPOSSIBLE.

    Maybe watching cartoons will make me feel better…

    CLICK! The TV turned on in a flash,

    100,000 deaths already?

    I turn off the TV and cuddled with the blanket on my bed.

    Why? Why does the world have to end NOW?

    Feeling miserable for what seemed like 3 million days inside,

    I went downstairs, gloom and irritation washed over me when I heard mum say.

    “Sweetie! I know that you’ve been finding quarantine hard

    but…would you like to get some ice cream?”

    Yes please! My grin was bigger than the Amazon Forest,

    wider then The Atlantic Ocean,and

    taller than Mount Everest!

    “well promise me one thing,

    always have hope.

    The world is having a hard time right now but we NEED

    people like you to stay positive!”

    To this day, I still believe that hope is REAL and you should too!(Thornhill- Year6 Asteroids)

  16. life is like a new book
    you never no what
    if your

    or one of those days when
    everything seems

    when you cant quit figure out
    what
    to do or you
    could start
    or pass
    there exeams
