Definition: To want something to happen, with a sense of expectation that it might.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
Today we’re tackling “hoping,” a word in the book!
The dictionary gives us a clue, nice and bright,
“To want something to happen, with a feeling of light!”
Think about it like this, it's quite plain,
When you
hope
for sunshine after rain.
You
want
it to happen, that’s part of the plea,
But there’s more than just wanting - it’s hoping, you see!
It carries a feeling, a little bit sweet,
A gentle expectation, a hopeful repeat.
Like wishing on stars with a silent wish call,
Or dreaming of victories, standing tall!
So “hoping” isn't just saying "I want," my dears,
It’s holding onto the chance, drying up tears –
With a little bit of belief, and a hopeful desire,
Let your hopes soar high, let them climb higher!
Does that make sense? Any questions to share?
