children of hope


if life is tough
(as you told us)

then help us pass
the hardest part
to win the battle
not to surrender

though our feet
are small and weak
and the paths
ahead of us
are roughly hard
help us
to stay in
the right tracks
and keep walking
even in pain

teach us to be strong
in rain and storm
when the dark clouds
blinds our skies
and the thick air
strangles our soul

tell us the reason
why we have 
to live our life
in laughter
not in tears
 
if life is tough
(as you told us)

then teach us
to guard our hearts
be white and pure
to conquer nasty desires
and be truly sincere

plant the seeds 
of love and hope
in our hearts
not the seeds
of hatred
and the spirit
of the broken hearts
 
then
we will be ready
to step into the future
as the children of hope
