HOPE

By Lau Yi Lun

Hope makes us dream,

Dreaming of becoming the impossible,
Dreaming of anything we want to be,
Dreaming of the day of glory.

I hold onto that dream

To make my pupils believe,
The impossible thing they can reach,
Even the stars they like in the sky.

I dragged my feet to the school,

Hold onto the same hope,
To see pupils come to school,
With a wide smile on their face.

I walked to the class,

A pupil came to me,
Telling me how he wished,
To be just like me.

I show them a picture,

A picture of a kid,
With his favourite cartoon characters,
Mickey and Minnie.

The pupil tell me,

How great it would be,
If he or she,
Can go to that place they dream.
I whispered to him,
You can and you will,
Holding onto the same hope,
To make them believe.

I hope the best for them,

Wishing that one day,
We will meet,
On the day of glory.
