A Prayer for You

To those who know the feeling
of washing clothes in their tub
of trying to stretch those last cups of rice
or scrounging for change for a bus ride

This is for you

To those who have to wake every morning
for a dead end job to make ends meet
for an empty apartment
or scramble to catch the 7 am tram

This is for you

To those who dream of better lives
lives with achievements
lives with peace
or lives helping others

This is for you

To those who want to live life to its fullest
dream of careers
dream of travel
or dream of some space to call their own

This is for you

A prayer for hope
A prayer for peace
A prayer for love

A prayer for you
