MY HOPE
I hope that life’s obstacles
With its innumerable troubles,
Would soon be rectified
And I, no longer be mystified
 
No matter how I try
Every day I sigh,
Why am I always rent?
Is life that really bent?
 
O! How I wish this pain
Would somehow refrain,
But is this really possible
Faced with a secret debacle
 
Would I have another chance?
To laugh, sing and dance
Perhaps, metaphorically, in my mind
I can unravel this ball of twine!
