They whispered like children in excitement
Their sardonic mouths sung many savvy tunes
It was Death I could perceive, defending me,
And he, a strange, distant friend
Seemed...

Hope,a bird's strive for it's fledglings.

Hope,a poor-man's prayer when it's raining.

Hope,an old couple's wish to meet their...

drowning in tears, for a son.
