Hopes and Prayers, offers a poetic approach to living, and loving someone. A religious approach to our world is universal, and prayer may offer solace under myriad circumstances. At the same time, we all hope for better days. My pieces offer a different means, and will be interpreted according to individual tastes. I hope and pray everyone who takes the time to meander through my thoughts will find a word or two that applies, and offers a different meaning to every day events.
