Reflect and Hope




Looking back into tomorrow
Stepping forward into the past
Remembering all of life's sorrows
From which we grow up fast.

Taking time out to reflect on things
Of which we cannot change
Life's image in the mirror
A world that seem so strange

Every day I see corruption
From which there is no cure
One of life's little mysteries
A thing we must all endure.

The sacrifices we must make
Just to make ends meet
To keep our heads above water
And not accept defeat.

But I see hope around yonder bend
Of this we can rely
A world full of harmony
A place for you and I
