I Hope


Tomorrow I hope.

I hope families don't wake up hungry,

That everyone finds a little home and aren't on the cold icy streets freezing.

I hope that voices are heard.

I hope that kids walk into school feeling safe. 

Tomorrow I hope that people won’t be judged for what they believe in,

I hope people can be who they are and not be judged by others.

Tomorrow I hope everyone is safe.

I hope that trees in the west don’t go up in flames,

I hope that sea levels don’t rise and take out homes,

And that climate change slows and keeps glaciers from melting. 

Tomorrow I hope the world becomes a better place.

  • Starry

    As I step outside onto the front porch,
    All that's there is the dark night sky and the cold midnight breeze on my face.
    I feel alone,
    There’s nothing,
    I see nothing,
    I feel nothing. 

    But then,
    I look up.

    If I could break a world record it would be how many animals I could rescue in a year. There are many animals around the world that are either being abused or taken out of their habitats.
  • Rainbow

    At the end of the rainbow,
    Where the color meets land,
    Wonders happen.

    Some say there is no such thing. 
    Others believe there’s gold. 
    Or maybe there’s a whole new world.

    Walking through the wide open field.
