AUDACIOUS HOPERS HOPE FOR THINGS
Audacious hopers hope for things
No practical person would dream of hoping for,
Things we are certain can never happen
Given the current circumstances.
Audacious hopers drive us crazy
Because they simply will not listen
To our predictions about the future.
Audacious hopers are in denial!
There’s nothing quite so irritating
As trying to protect audacious hopers
From the disappointment we’re afraid they will face.
Audacious hopers test our courage!
BUT:
Audacious hopers change the world
And when they do we call them heroes.
We buy magazines with articles about them
And hire them to make motivational speeches.
When audacious hopers tell their stories
About the people they met on the journey,
I’d rather be named as the one who supported
Than mentioned as the barrier who had to be thwarted.
