Hope Poem by Wilfred Mellers

HOPE
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Monday, January 30,2012, @ 3: 37 PM

Sometimes I want to lie down and cry
Sometimes I wish I could just die but why?
I cannot stem the tide, though I have tried
All I can do is to change my mind

A future I have to define
I will still try until the day I die
The tears won't flow from my eyes
I must scale the tallest sky-rise

My soul shall touch the skies
Stress is just evil will in disguise
It is just no good that wants you to compromise
Let go those sad and lonely goodbyes

Keeping my eyes on the prize
Tomorrow can bring a surprise
So what, my life is not at a gallop
I shall never give up

I may never blow up
Blessed with life so I'll get up
Life is a performance and not a warm-up
I will cope and never give up hope
