Hope
written by: Henry Vinicio Valerio Madriz
So many times we fall into despair for no factual reasons to come or go
yet truth attests there is nothing there for being in fear of or sobbing
need to learn our lesson to trust Heaven that everythin’ll be right
for the heart to be full of a constant supernatural will stream
thus jump into the life river to glide peace and happiness
tasting each instant by holding all bits of fresh breath
to continue fighting my own ways to succeed well
holding hands with others and with the world’s
days and nights dancing in harmony inside
dreams that time will build composedly
to redeem unlikely wasting moments
becoming excitement and energy
you just need
to pursue
hope.
