These are mottos she lives by. The one I found the most fascinating and hear to her was the Hope is Heavy one.
Yeah,,, it can take work to have hope!
I have this coping candle flame that flickers, Hope it’s simple name, but tho i truly need its light I keep it shuttered every night - the winds that blow through me are cold, the whispered wick a trick to hold, and while the fire burns devout.. I fear, exposed, it might go out. So while I have this Hope, it’s true, it never helps to light my view; I keep it safely tucked inside - so, blinded, then, I too must hide. But deadly dark the night, and cold - with naught but Hope to guide and warm; so time to risk that which I hold, and trust my candle in the storm.

Well now that's speaking my language.
But @weaselle 's poem, speaks to another part, the part where hope lives. The tender center that holds onto the fragile spark of hope with gentle cupped hands and wills it to live.
