Hope
I feel it pounding in my caged chest,
But my heart still pushes me forward.
Hope

That tomorrow would be a brighter day.
Hope
I taste in the words of my mouth.
Wishing to leave something better on this planet Earth.
Hope,
I wear as a golden robe.
For others who are naked and needy.
Hope
I speak it, I write it, I live it.
For myself, and for those who have the courage and are ready.
For tomorrow is pregnant,
And Hope is her baby.
