Hope for Sale

Come one, come all, to my corner gift shop,
I’ve got hope on the shelves, with great bargains to drop.
You’ll find hope in the candles, down the aisle on the right,
Small flames that flicker through the darkest of night.

There’s hope in the blankets, so soft, so warm,
To wrap up your worries, and weather each storm.
Hope in the whistles that sing with delight,
To carry your dreams to incredible heights.

Hope in the snow globes, with worlds held inside,
Shake them up gently, watch hope from the shaking abide.
Hope in the keychains, engraved with a word,
A small, simple token, yet powerfully heard.

There’s hope in the mugs with bright, cheerful hues,
To sip on your mornings and chase away blues.
Hope in the wind chimes that dance in the breeze,
Bringing sweet music that puts your mind at ease.

Hope in the journals with pages to fill,
Each line a new chance, each word a fresh thrill.
Hope in the picture frames, to hold memories dear,
A snapshot of joy that lasts year after year.

So step right up, there’s plenty to share,
Take what you need, and let go of despair.
Because here in my shop, with each little thing,
You’ll find that hope is a gift you can bring.
