Longing For A Brighter Future Poem by Mark Oloo

Yesterday was great so you say,
And longing for a better day,
And why not do it today,
If you longing for a brighter future.

I had to get on my knees and pray,
And Jesus did not play,
The price that He had to pay,
Because we were longing for a brighter future.

In the heavens and on earth we may,
Take it all for granted and stay,
Quiet, not looking for a way,
Because we were longing for a brighter future.

On our beds at the end of the week we lay,
Looking backs over our shoulders, its our birthday,
And when it is all said and done, we stray,
Because we are longing for a brighter future.
