We plant trees that has no fruit, <br />That has no shade to sit under it, <br />That will grow without any sunlight <br />or any water poured to it's roots, <br /> <br /> <br />We act like there is no tomorrow, <br />trespassing in the devil's den <br />then tomorrow live with great sorrow <br />looking for light in the darkness, <br /> <br />Failed passions of descendant hope, <br />don't compare today with yesterday, <br />for every generation lives its path holes <br />like shooting stars each moves its way <br /> <br />Its a life the MIGHTY GOD gave us, <br />live knowing there is tomorrow <br />your existence might not be ensured <br />but your children's lives might be, <br /> <br />As my tears stained up my smile, <br />there is hope today for tomorrow, <br />I'm looking at the bright future <br />whipping out these tears of hope.<br /><br />Mpho Tsakata<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tears-of-hope/
