A Song Comes to Mind

At the end of this will be a link to a song that came

to mind when I first read this challenge.

Hope - is a strength of confident expression, one that leans toward wishing things would get better, or win the lottery, or having that man or woman fall in love with you. Hope is that key word for a son or daughter to go to college. Hope is fighting off a debilitating disease. Through hope, we gain strength, or at least we hope to.

Dream - isn't just the actual dreams we have at night that keep some of us wondering what the hell they meant. To dream, is the what if of all the tomorrows to come. Hit the lottery, finally pay off the mortgage, buy a new house (all of course on a modest paycheck). To dream of a better life for yourself and your children.

Want - this is a tangible word. I want to have a cup of coffee, I want to date him/her, I want a baby. These are all doable. You can even replace want with: crave, desire, and demand. That chocolate cake looks so good. What I wouldn't give to have him/her in my arms. I want you to finish the report by Monday. Three examples of crave, desire, and demand. When you look at it, even here, you wanted explanations for these words, Evelyn Dawn. Basically, it does point to one fact: we all want ... something.

Expect - or expecting, is something we presume will happen, if not now, perhaps in the near future. Expect the teacher to hand out more homework. Expect the relatives to show up on time for dinner. Expect other people to be reasonable during conversations. We expect others to be kind, but that could be expecting too much.

When you put this altogether, what is expected of us, is to hope we can write something the writer wants to be read, and that is a dream we all look forward to.

To put in in an easier perspective: all these things are a learning curve in life called knowledge.
