Join Ian for poetry and chat from around the Midlands 

Please join me on Tuesday at 8pm and Friday at 7pm on The Ian Henery Show for an inspirational interview with a Birmingham lady who never gave up on Hope.  She wrote:
"Hope knows no fear;
Hope dares to blossom
Even inside the abysmal abyss.
Hope secretly feeds and strengthens
Promise".
The words of the poem were placed on her daughter`s grave, 13 year old Hope Fennell who was killed by a lorry driver in Kings Heath.  Her mother has campaigned since that date for road safety awareness, earning herself the title Guardian Archangel by ROSPA for her tireless road safety efforts.
Nazan "Archangel" Fennell never gave up on Hope.  Another poem reads:
                                                         Hope
Hope is the light,
The optimism,
A weapon against despair;
Hope is the pink blossom of Spring.
Hope is joy,
The Spring of life:
Rebirth and resurrection.
Hope is the Phoenix,
Hope is courage,
The unity."
The message is clear - don`t give up on hope.
