A New Hope

A New Hope

Straddling waves, changing tides Turbulent sea, bumpy ride Still, the anchor holds To destination progress Wake up and smell the morning It's the dawn of a new day Clear blue sky, bright new morn Sun smiling in sweet splendour The aroma of a fresh hope Greets the nose with lingering incense Savour the dish Dine and be full Life is what we make of it Arm yourself with knowledge and truth Harm ignorance and falsehood Salt and sugar look alike but Taste different Come with nothing Fight for everything Return with spoils Like the spreading ripples At the drop of a pebble Life is but a riddle
