Hope

Amidst a wealth of hate,
I cursed he dat made me wait.
For life had taken it all away...
Leaving me to be led astray.
Nature lectured me once again,
Reminding me of life's one gift,
A force that still drove life.
Grace remained strong in me
Lifting me up to see a brighter picture,
Awakening a power that couldn't be matched...Awakening HOPE.

Good work Eke. Hope is among the 'three greats of the planet'. Faith, hope, and love. Keep hoping. God bless.
