Poem: Road of Hope
If you’re a regular reader of the blog, you may already know that writing is an integral component of our Life Skills, Education and Arts Program (LEAP). Many women find that this introspective act can bring healing from past traumas or clarity into life’s challenges, and feel emboldened by using one of their most powerful tools– their voices.
In the spirit of the upcoming Hope Awards Dinner, in which we celebrate the spirit of hope, enjoy this poem that Tanya penned just last week.
Road of Hope
Always ready to walk
No matter the thoughts that is talk
Years of strolling on this road
Carrying a bag along the way
Ant times can be such a heavy load.
At the bottom articles of
Belief, desire, faith, ambition,
Confidence, endurance, security,
Dreams… pushing and fighting
To reach the top.
Covered up and push down
By dying objects; fear, doubt,
Despair, discouragement,
Disbelief, dislike, distrust,
Will their power ever stop?
So I keep treading on
This road day by day knowing
It will never be an end.
Relaxing with peace, knowing
This road is called Hope
Just because it always begins.
