Analysis of Life and hope

Joseph Berolo 1934 (Bogotá)



Life and Hope
You have become the star
of our heaven, the sweetest
bundle of joy ever to appear
to make our lives the purest.

May your lovely eyes
shine upon your Mom's life
and your Dad's path
to make their world a happier one.

You deserve peace and comfort,
a firm mind and tender soul,
a strong arm to hang on,
a vivid brain to explore the world.

We need you, little treasure
and yet, the greatest treasure
more than you need us, for sure,
'cause you are Life and Hope
and we need you to love your love.
