Notes About The Poem

RIDE OF HOPE

Ride your inspiring horse of hope, and 
Gallop to victory!
Endless challenges lie ahead in your way,
Inviting you to dare,
To shape your future, 
To incarnate your destiny!

The day is new, and you are young, 
Many are the goals to achieve,
Uncountable the mountains to conquer, 
Innumerable are the paths to follow.
So, go ahead, never stop, never doubt, never 
Question your abilities,
For 
You are endowed with a myriad of talents, and
With a gifted spirit from above.

Now, the time has come for you, the wings of 
Your precious mind to unfold, and fly to the realm of
Discoveries and truths to you, yet unknown.

Do not be afraid, 
Remain strong, 
Steadfast in your dreams,
Never oscillate!

Be diligent, truthful to yourself, honest, and 
With a lion’s heart,
For 
Tomorrow belongs to the fighters, 
To those who never give up, 
Who never retreat, 
To those who are after life's victory,  
For 
TOMORROW belongs to YOU, my 
Darling, little niece!
