Sometimes Poem by Jessica Hughes

Sometimes when the day is lonesome
I think of you...
And tears roll from my eyes.
The reasons why: injustice, prejudice,
hatred and oppression.

Sometimes when the night is lonesome
I think of you...
And tears roll from my eyes.
The reasons why: love, empathy, justice and
equality.

Sometimes when the evening is long
I think of you...
And tears roll from my eyes.
I wonder when will I truly see you smile.
