Holding Hope

Holding Hope

I hold the hope

That when you’re grown

You’ll know a world

That will be a

Little bit kinder

I hold the hope

That when you’re grown

Whatever you are

You will have your

Chance to shine

I hold the hope

That when you’re grown

You will not have to

Fear persecution

In any form

And I hold the hope

That before you’re grown

I will have done

Everything in my power

To make these hopes reality

I don't yet have children, but this was written, not only for them (non-existent as they are currently), but for my nieces and nephews (blood, marriage, and adoptive). This is for my cousins and their kids too.

You all may see me start coming out of my little cave more, and trying to get information out about various social and political issues that are plaguing the world. We all have a part to play in making the world a better place. Education of ourselves and of our friends and family are key to that change. The exchange and debate of ideas and ideals are also key to that change. So, whether  you are right wing, left wing, or no wing, remember this: we all want a better future for the children in our lives.
