DESPERATE HOPE
Frantic run on the mountain top
Before night eclipses my day
Before my hopes on earth dead drop
Before my sun will come to lay
My greatest foe in war is time
So I'll keep precious memories
I'll try to make my footsteps rhyme
They are just one in centuries
My time on earth will come just once
And when I die, there'll be no more
I'll try to run, and sing and dance
And make my marks just like before
Breath of mine may fly tomorrow
I'll try to live my best today
I'll live the smile, kill the sorrow
And do great things in every way
*For all people like me suffering from deadly disease who try to do things that they must do before their time will come*
