by Alan Bedworth

Children without food,
we must give them hope.

Children without water,
we must give them hope.

Children with no medicines,
we must give them hope.

Children are the future,
they need to be given hope.

People in countries at war,
we must give them hope.

People on the streets,
we must give them hope.

People critically ill,
we must give them hope.

People of the world,
they need to be given hope.

Faith and hope go a long way,
for a bright and meaningful future.
