Hope by Subhan
The night can always turn into great days,
winter might be gloomy but there’s hope for summers rays,
The leaves have to fall like there is a rush,
but again there will be hope for greenery and lush,
The thirsty Saharah is waiting for days, look!
the clouds are going to open their spillways,
Bees have to fly for more than an hour,
to get honey by blooming flowers,
Always keep alive the hope inside you, and do let the flame blow and let hope grow.
Well done Subhan - we are so proud of you!
Also, well done to all the children who also took part in the competition - you've all done a great job too!
