Nivedita Chatterjee - Hope

Hope
Hope is a candle in the night
Hope is a long respite.

Hope is a feather
Once lifted, it'll only get higher.

Hope is an oasis in a desert
Hope is a diamond in the dirt.

Hope is everywhere
Yet hope is scarcely there.

Hope is the dream of better days
Hope is the passion ablaze.

Hope is beautiful
And hope is tranquil.

Hope is there for everyone
Hope is an asset that all have in abundance.

Nivedita Chatterjee
