Don't take away my hope - Peace Poetry by Leanne D Hendley

Just what do you do...when you can not do?
and what do you try...when you can not try?

Who'll stop to listen..when nobody cares?
and who will be there...when they won't even hear?

Don't think I'm so strong,
When I see it's all wrong,
My hope is all I'm hanging on!

Can we all find our way...when we don't stop and pray?
Or even hold hands...without peace in our own land?

Don't take way my hope,
It is all I have left to change things with.

Just how, can we BE...in the Land Of The Free?
When we all want to live...but don't want to give?

And we lack all respect...for the meaning of life?
Giving in to our flesh...when we know it's not right!

Oh.....Lord
we need you..to deliver us through,
we've waited for courage
and have tried to look up...

. Who can cope...'Without hope now .. today?
