I was walking at the beach,
Hopeless, lost, when I saw an old friend.
He came up to me and said,
“What’s the matter, why are you so sad?”
I explained to him,
That life wasn’t working out the way I had expected.
“Wait,” he said. “Wait one more day
But this time, don’t think about what has been bad
Think about how good life will be after that.
Just be hopeful and you will see
What life has to offer to you.”
I listened to him,
Dreamed of the day that I would retire,
Come to this beach and lie on the sand,
Listening to the calm waves instead of my misery.
That day, I began to feel better,
Hope was the key to a peaceful day.
By dreaming, I was getting one step closer
To that day which I would be happy
