"The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread."
~Mother Teresa
I have always searched for hope
like a child for an open hand
awkwardly reaching out
in grace and then clasping on tightly
knowing it was mine to hold
I still long for its embrace now
tender like a man longs for a woman's touch
and no matter how much a comfort it is
the longing will never cease
Certainly I shall always
feel this hunger
like the deprived hope once more for a full plate
something they can take in
and make full what once was empty
yes I know that craving indeed
