HOPE 

I kept looking at the road

Hoping someone would call my name

I kept my phone within my reach

Hoping my line would ring

 

Like a bride

Waiting for her groom

Like a trap

Waiting for prey

 

I kept my room tidy

Even left my door ajar

I tried not to fall asleep

In my room I take a pace and two

 

Suddenly a gentle knock I hear

I run to the door

Only to learn dismayed

It was only the wind

 

Suddenly I heard someone call my name

I ran outside

Thinking, it was fortune’s call

Then I realized

It was my heart

Calling for me

Listen from the inside

You will find your answers

Look at God instead of the road

Stay within his reach

Instead of your phone

Very soon you will smile again.
