Hope

Hope is an amazing thing
if I was to imagine it
I would imagine it as a beautiful box
full of all my hopes
each one with a different bright colour

It would be in gold wrapping paper
together with a pretty ribbon
That will look absolutely Divine

The box would be precious
It must be kept safe
tucked away in a safe place
away from prying eyes

Whenever you have a moment of despair
go to that special place
where you kept that box of hope hidden away

from all those envying eyes
envying you for staying so happy
no matter what may be

Now open that special box
full of all your beautiful hopes
make sure you unwrap it carefully
so you can use the same gold paper
with the pretty ribbon

Now look inside
You will find your eyes
will be filled with delight
so many happy colours
you will absorb

Now when you are full
wrap the box again

feeling silly for despairing
You go to your prayer mat
asking Allah for forgiveness

This world is indeed full of hope
we just need to make an effort to keep it alive
don't let anything take that away from you

Despairing will keep you stuck
Hoping will keep you going
