Hope

When I was young, I hoped

for toys I can play

for friends to share my days

for mom to hold my hands

and with dad for more time we can spend.

When I was growing up into an adult

I learnt pain related to my heart

when girls looked the other way

and I was alone on most days.

When it was time for me to be

a husband to a wife so lovely

and become a father to my children

I hope we have more time to spend

playing all day, just talk and be friend

but alas, it was not meant to be

time is limited by other priority

so .... when one day I drove with a friend

and I saw light at the end

of a tunnel....and in my own mind

I decided on a new plan

family comes first, everything else are second

week days and weekends

to spend time with them

for I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel

which reminded me of what's life - before life comes to an end!
