I wish, expect, and look forward to…
Word of unknown origin,
Thought to be of general Low Germanic origin
hopia
hopen
hoffen
Suggestions abound
A connection with hop –
To offer leaps of expectation.
I shout:
Let it not be grounded and be transformed in
Despair!
From Latin
De – without
And
Sperare – to hope
Es ist alles ich könnte je bitten
jenes Gesicht nie wieder zu sehen.

Es ist alles ich könnte je beten
jene Stimme nie wieder zu hören.

Es ist alles ich könnte je hoffen
jenes Gefühl nie wieder zu fühlen.
-
It is all I could ever ask
never to see that face again;

It is all I could ever pray
never to hear that voice again;

It is all I could ever hope
never to feel that way again.
