Bono's Note: 'Hope is like a faithful dog'

Its not uncommon for entertainers to leave notes or items in hotel rooms for the housekeeping team to find.

Bono Poem / Credit BuzzFeed 2012 Buzzfeed published the note, which was left behind at the Kinf David Hotel. The note ( more like a poem) was about how “hoep is like a faithful dog” Bono added a sketch of “a dog called Hope.” Could it be the start of some new lyrics or something to throw the fans off?  Or just some insight to the concept of HOPE.

Bono’s poem titled we think ” In Jerusalem, hope springs eternal,”  

“Hope is like a faithful dog, sometimes she runs ahead of me to check the future, to sniff it out and then I call to her: Hope, Hope, come here, and she comes to me. I pet her, she eats out of my hand and sometimes she stays behind, near some other hope maybe to sniff out whatever was. Then I call her my Despair. I call out to her. Here, my little Despair, come here and she comes and snuggles up, and again I call her Hope.”

Signed  “With great thanks for great room in great hotel in great city, Bono.”
