Before the thought
Is an action
Of movement
Or a reaction
Of taking in
What surroundings
Exist
But always thought
Proceeds
Action
Before the thought
Is an action
Of movement
Or a reaction
Of taking in
What surroundings
Exist
But always thought
Proceeds
Action
Keeping up
Is never easy
Making stride
Never a quick
Go
But never let up
Never let go
Message sent
With no hope of receipt
Send out love
Repeat
This is my promise
One
I intend
To keep
What is hidden
I seek
For a word
I must keep
To the ones I promised
To do the best I can
And always help
If I can
A style of saying
Yes
A way of saying
No
Anyway I do it
I’ll just have to show
Holding hope
Holding patience
In a time
When waiting feels wasted
Yet to listen
When people scream
So angry
That I’m not sure
What it all means
But change happens
Not in a day
But in a lifetime
So I am holding
Hope
That we can do better
One day at a time
High hopes for
A better tomorrow
That is the wish of the
Moment
When I wander
I want to know
If tomorrow
Will be better
Where do I find myself
Today
Or tomorrow
When I try to run away
From the words, I can’t confront
And surely can’t
Say
Can I borrow
Something
In hope to return
What was once pardoned
Is now doomed
For today
We celebrate
What we can do
And release what
Is beyond our control
That is just for today
And tomorrow
Will come
