Hope

by Jeff   May 5, 2005


Quite evening on the east
Looking at the sunset on the west
Malls and shops are getting closed
Roads are busy than ever
Jeff, you got be going home now
A voice full of hopes whispers to me
It looks like its gonna rain
Please don\\\'t wet the food you have
Heaven generousity means a lot

Like yesterday today has been long
Long with series of thoughts
Life has remained just a pain
My experience can\\\'t be yours
Only comparison makes sense
Hunger and thirsty are my buddies
Wonder when will I get rid of them
I take easy steps and move away
An empty home is awaiting for me

Suicidal attempts have been tried
Damn! the nightmares are scary
Let me die when I am deemed to
Not because I saw friend dying
Rest in peace those who have gone

Unlike them one thing keeps me going
Beautiful thing called hope
Hope just the one Ayoub had
Hope that one day heaven will wear glasses
See me standing still at the dump in Arizona
Hope that miracles have not yet ceased
That wonders were not banned forever
Smiles and laughters will again be my symbols
Has been a while since grandpa love lived with me
Never said goodbye but I still hope
His return will come soon and last forever
That those days of salsa and rhumba will once again come say hi
Its only hope that makes me smile

I am told heaven has got many plans
Far more than the ones at the white house
Why shouldn\\\'t I wait for mine
Hope tells me its the best thing to
Hope makes me see the Roben Island
And Mandela is my fellow prisoner
That one day I will shine just like him
That one day I will be in the oscars like many others
A hero to many I will become
Hope is amazing and kinda crazy
But I love hope and it loves me
Hope is all I am living for.
