HOPE School Nepal
-
Kids with bright eyes and big smiles
-
Quick of thought, smart, eager
-
Snotty noses but friendly faces
-
“Hello Miiiss, Hello Sar – come and play”
-
Poor homes, sick parents
-
No light, dirt floor
-
Small space, zero privacy
-
Mountain goats, generous hearts
-
Mountains surround, eagles fly
-
Strong kids run and wrestle
-
Fight – almost assault each other
-
But tears are sparing
-
I feel exhausted by their energy
-
Lame by their toughness
-
I hope they find a way amidst poor politics
-
To a path of meaning and healthy living
-
I don’t want them to be Westerners
-
Appreciate their culture
-
I hope they can help create change
-
In governing their country
-
I pray God, you raise an army of children with integrity
-
Guide their bare feet to places of influence
-
Let them be all they can be
-
Let Nepal be blessed as a result
