i hope i would one day pray
for stronger feet and not shorter way
for a simple life and bigger heart
not greater share or larger part
i hope I would one day ask
for courage and zeal, not easier task
I hope I would try and make things better
would dare to step out, and not crave for shelter
I hope i would one day help
just for helping’s sake
that I would gladly give,
more than I take
I hope I would one day shrug off my past
and stop felling guilty
that i’ll give my best to every moment
and leave it to almighty
I hope this inner peace would last
when i’d rather move along than lead or run fast
I hope that day would be simple and satisfying
worth living and gratifying
when greed would leave and contentment would stay
I just honestly wish that, that day be today!
