"I Hope..."
Madison
Marian Middle School
St. Louis City, MO
I hope He can tell
the beauty in some lies
the truth in all cries
and the hope in any eyes.
I hope He can
love many flaws
make sure the world has enough
so they don’t beg and crawl
and make anyone laugh so much
that they could never bawl.
I hope He can
bring a smile to people’s face
honor life with no disgrace
and love you so much
that you know
no one can take your place.
