But finally, I got that magic poke.
The poke I had been longing for, - no matter how pathetic that is,
I'm almost proud to admit I'm pathetic, because It is the truth.
I even got a little more than a fb poke.
I got a sweet, short & succinct fb msg reply.
And just that alone, well it made my heart beat faster, it put the bright sunbeam quality back into the smile I had lost.
No matter how tiny, no matter how pathetic, I will always choose hope over doubt.
Even if my funny (well I thought it was funny) txt msg didn't warrant a reply.
I will cling to my hope and hold tight my dreams . . . for "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry"
I know the quote is about everything going wrong - this is exactly why I cling to hopes and dreams - the theme of Steinbeck's story, For everything has gone awry, but I still may just come out of it alive, and be all the better for it.
For It is in our dreams that we find comfort when there is no other comfort to be found
Text quoted is from "Of Mice & Men" by John Steinbeck, which was originally written in a poem called "To a Mouse" by Robert Burns All other text plus the image are all mine lol
