If hope could be a color
It would be
As purple as an iris.

If hope could be a taste
It would be sweet like chocolate

If hope could be a smell
It would be the honey suckle air of the south

If hope could be a sound
It would be baby birds chirping in the spring
If hope could be a feeling
It would be the feeling of falling, hoping for someone to be there to catch you.

If hope could be an animal
It would be an eagle flying high above the treetops
