A Chance Today


Our elders are to be respected,
They hold stories of our past.
Lessons learned and survived,
Evidence that we can out last.

All desired a better life,
Expecting brighter tomorrows.
We should show them the respect,
For their misery especially sorrows.

Life could have been worse,
Our elders led the way.
This generation should be grateful,
We ought to thank them everyday.

Choosing to live with dignity,
Making decisions that are right.
The key of continuing,
All our elders had in sight.

Daily struggles were opportunities,
A risk for them to pray.
Based on their overcoming,
We have a chance today.
