Hope for a new day
Keeps me alive
Hope that tomorrow would bring more opportunities
Allows me sleep
Hope that life will offer me that chance I have been begging for
Caused me to dream last night
I have hope
But when life is ready
When life serves
Will my teeth be strong and my digestive system ready to process
Am I really ready for what I hope for
Wishing or Pursing
Hoping or Preparing
Talking or Tilling
Am I ready for what I have said I want
Hope keeps me alive
But would hope take me through
Hope makes me want to see tomorrow
But will tomorrow hand in what I desire
Pursuing, preparing, tilling
Tools I need
Actions I must take
To convert today’s hope to tomorrow’s haven.
Thank you Ebenezer!
lovely one Nneka
