Hope: Going Beyond All.

There was a boy named Tommy
Who had a particularly hard time in school.

He continually asked questions,
And he never could quite keep up.

It seemed that he failed
Everytime he tried something.

His teacher finally gave up on him
And told his mother
That he could not learn
And would never amount to much.

But Tommy's mother was a
Nurturer.

She believed in him.

She taught him at home,
And each time he failed,
She gave him Hope and Encouraged him to
Keep trying.

What ever happened to Tommy?

He became an inventor,
Eventually holding more than one thousand patents,
Including those of the phonograph
And the first commercially practical
Incandescent electric lightbulb.

His name was
Thomas Edison.

When people have hope,
There is no telling how far they can go.
