The Power Of Hope

Hope covers our doubts and fears, and helps us to focus on tomorrow. Hope helps us to ignore our weakensses and empowers us with courage to face the uncertainties of life.

This is beautiful, but I can't stop thinking if I drop some grenadine on the snow... ah that would be delicious. I am sorry, I am just too silly.
