Verse Thursday -- Hope Stirs

I have never been able to manage a drabble except once, ages ago, because I just could never say what I wanted to in so few words! But in trying to write something special for a friend's birthday awhile back, I up with this. When I originally wrote it, it counted out as exactly 400 words, so I called it a Quaddrabble, but now when I recount it, it doesn't seem to come out right!  Oh, well.  I shall just have to rewrite it some day, in a longer version, because the idea of this "might have been" intrigues me greatly.
