A poem: hope

I haven't posted one in ages, so here's a poem :)

The optimistic side of me

Likes to dream

That rainbows follow rain.

There’s a little girl

I used to know,

Fair-haired and wide-eyed

Imagining elves and giants,

Ghosts and goblins,

Chasing the wind unseen

Her whole life unlived -

Does she still wander freely

In her dreams?
