Hopeful

by Megan O’Donnell ’22

I walk through the waste-filled forest I swim through the contaminated seas I breathe in the polluted air A world covered in disease

All of a sudden I perceive Light emerging from the dark Maybe there is hope On which I can embark

The garbage is removed The seas all turn to blue The air is fresh and clean However, still much left to do

This small step taken Is known as just the start For a whole world of possibilities lie ahead In which I will impart

I listen to the birds singing So cheerful in delight For maybe one day Everything will be alright
