Paralyzed by the innocence of eyes, <br />A warm feeling waves over not despised, <br />Their beautiful laughter brings only joy. <br />No matter the look of each girl and boy, <br />All have an unwritten future, and that, <br />Brings hope to those who are less innocent. <br /> <br />Let us hope that they do not see darkness. <br />Let us hope that they stay with innocence, <br />However, they shall not be ignorant. <br />Let them have the wisdom of an owl. <br />Let us hope that they smile happily. <br />We are all tired of all the violence, <br />We are all tired of the woeful cries, <br />We are tired and scared and need to change. <br /> <br />The change will be all of their radiance, <br />They will prosper and radiate with light, <br />The light will reflect on their wise rivers, <br />Let us hope they will heal before they kill. <br />Let us hope that they shine and use reason. <br />Let us hope that they learn from our mistakes.<br /><br />Hannah Bryson Price<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/let-us-hope-3/
