  1. Sun Rise
    Sometimes all I can do is stand and stare,
    Over the dismal hills,
    Foggy and bare.

    The cold, the crisp, the morning air,
    Everything left without a care,
    Nothing to rise to, nothing to share,
    The world’s beautiful colours are no longer there.

    The harsh, black waves destroying the land,
    The cliffs are trembling, the mountains are pallid and bland,
    But when the sun shall rise, the trees will blossom,
    The colours will bloom, the grass will grow green and the air will be clean.

  2. Walking in the darkness

    When I’m walking in the darkness
    and the streets lights are glitching
    and the trees are looming
    but I’m not scared
    because I have hope by my side.

    When I’m walking in the dark
    and fear is trying to devour
    and the icy hand of the grim reaper runs his finger down my weary spine
    but still,I’m not scared
    ‘cus I have hope by my side.

    When I’m walking in the dark
    and I just want to cry and hide
    I realise I have hope by my side.
    A proud tall figure i am I push the past aside.

    The light shines down ,
    The shadows hiss and scatter
    all the darkness shatter
    and the light expands
    and you wanna know why
    I had hope by my side.

  3. DOGS

    When they wag their tails
    Your happiness never fails,
    When your day has been rough
    Go and find your friends that go woof,
    When you are feeling upset
    Cuddle your pet,
    They all like to chase a ball
    However big or small,

    Though I have four legs
    I sometimes jump on two!
    And do a little dance
    Especially for you!

    I have a tail that waggles
    It’s really like a brush,
    And when I am very happy
    I chase it in a rush,

    Though we are not just pets you know,
    When our owners are in trouble
    Our true traits show,

    In danger or in jeopardy,
    Well, we are not just pets you see…

  4. Hope!

    Life isn’t always sad,
    It has rainbows
    And food and happiness.
    There are no reasons I should not have sushi.
    Sometimes all I can do is eat sushi all day
    But, even after all that,

    Life is like doughnuts,it melts in the microwave but it’s yummy.
    Hope is there in the lovely smell of chicken nuggets and chicken wings,
    And the smell of cheesecake and muffins.
    We hope to smell food in the air
    And so we continue to eat.

  5. Hope!

    Life isn’t a stroll in a field.
    It has its ups and downs.
    Its corners and trip ups.
    There are cuts and bruises.

    Sometimes all i can do is scream and cry.
    But,even after all that,life is joyful.
    Hope is there in the distans,
    faraway.

    But when we do find it, it will help us.

  6. life isn’t just a stroll through the park
    yet…
    there is hope,
    what is is it?

    it will sometimes go
    leave you betrayed…
    but new will come to stay
    as it guides you through dark and ill,
    people may leave you with scars and stain,
    drowned in despair
    but it repeats it’s self…

  7. There is still hope

    This is a poem of protest
    This is a hope that you will hear us
    Hear the calling

    This is a poem of protest
    Nature needs us
    The world needs us

    For there is still hope left.
    A glimmer
    But it is fading,
    fast

    We must hurl ourselves at it,
    never let go
    Stop hope fading,
    Let it start growing

    We will rise to the challenge
    You must rise to the challenge
    Everyone must rise
    Rise up

    Seasons change
    Life goes on
    We must change
    To carry on

    This is a poem of protest
    We will shout until you hear us
    So you must hear us
    And listen

    When oceans rise,
    We will to
    When trees fall,
    We will rise higher
    When animals die,
    We are their unheard voice

    There is still hope left,
    a glimmer
    But it is fading,
    fast

    We must hurl ourselves at it,
    never let go
    Stop hope fading,
    let it start growing

    This is a poem of protest
    Hear the calling
    Rise up
    There is still hope.

  8. DREAMS
    Life can be stressful sometimes,
    but there’s only a couple things that can conquer that
    and one of those things is dreaming.

    Dreams give you hope.
    They teach you to fight your anxiety.
    The more dreams,
    the more love
    and the less stress.

    Hope is dream’s best friend.
    The key to life is hope and dreaming,
    so just believe.

    Now dream.
    Dream hard.
    Dream of how the world will be,
    for your children, grandchildren and other children too.
    Because that’s what matters.

    Now can you feel that?
    Hope and dreams are holding your hand.
    They are helping you kick those worries away,
    because that’s what matters.

  9. Hope Does Not End

    Sometimes you do not get what you want,
    But do not give up,
    Try your best.

    If you do not get it at first,
    Try again,
    And again.

    Believe in yourself,
    Do not give up,
    Be hopeful,
    Nothing is impossible.

    Some things can be hard,
    If it’s something tricky,
    That’s your challenge.

  10. Life is an hourglass

    Life is like an hourglass,
    It doesn’t last forever.
    It’s full of disappointment and sorrow
    But even with that going on,
    You have to ignore it,
    Because deep below that,
    There is hope within you.
    It’s not Stranger Things where you just sit and watch,
    It’s real life.
    You have to make your own differences,
    And you can start today.

  11. Life isn’t always fair

    Life isn’t always fair
    Sometimes you have to bear it and ignore it.
    There many ways to step away from it.
    But even after all of that ,you still have to move forward from it.

    Life is like dandelion
    Hope is there in , by making you happy
    Friends will sometimes go away,
    But new ones will come to stay
    In good time.

  12. Life is Hope

    When life is born, hope is born.

    Momentous moments bring joy to life.

    Trees will rustle through the night,

    But remember, hope is there no matter what.

    Earthquakes will occur, tsunamis will appear,

    But remember, hope will be here no matter what.

  13. THIS WORLD IS NOT BROKEN
    by Olive
    This world is not broken,
    Just miss understood,
    The people are not bad
    Only we can’t see the good.

    Protests are for one reason,
    And that reason is change,
    Things need to happen,
    Before they go away.

    Life is a jigsaw
    That you need to solve
    And also a boulder,
    But that can dissolve.

    Freedom is a right,
    Not a cause for you to fight.

    But you need to realise.

    This world is not broken,
    Just calling for help
    It’s trapped in racism, climate change and hate.

    So help, before it’s too late.

  14. HOPE!

    Life isn’t just a stroll through the park
    Yet…
    There is hope,
    What is is it?

    It will sometimes go
    Leave you betrayed…
    But new will come to stay
    As it guides you through dark and ill,
    People may leave you with scars and stain,
    Drowned in despair

    And after all the despair you are presented with hope,
    So…
    DON’T LOSE HOPE.

  15. Life isn’t a walk in the park,
    It has obstacle along the way
    And time and work,
    There are ups and downs.

    Sometimes all i can do is frown
    But,even after all that,
    Life is peaceful,
    Hope is there in singing

    And drawing and eating.
    We hope when we smell the pleasant air
    And so we continue.

  16. Hope

    Life isn’t just an empty world.

    It has a quiet place.

    And its calm and an peaceful world.

    There are people around and birds tweeting.

    Sometimes all I can do is give up.

    But even after all that.

    Life is an happy place.

    Hope is there in the bright sky.

    And the smile of friends and family.

    We hope when we see hope.

    And so we continue.

  17. Life isn’t the best

    Life isn’t always so fair,
    Sometimes you have to accept whatever has happened.
    There are many ways to escape from it,
    Sit back and have some joy.

    Life is always a way to be happy,
    And so we continue.
    Sometimes life is like a maze,
    You will always find a place.
    But there might be many delays…

    Friends will sometimes go away.
    Some may disappoint or others betray,
    But new ones will come to stay,
    In good times.

    Life can be tough, there’s no doubt,
    But hope is the thing we can’t do without.
    Kindness and peace will always come out,
    Only if you do it on and about.

  18. HOPE IS IN THE AIR

    Life may not be a rainbow,
    With it’s pretty fading colours,
    It may not be perfect,
    But is does contain hope.

    On the days when your down in the dumps,
    There will always be someone who smiles,
    Someone to give you happiness,
    For just a little while.

    There are lots of challenges these days,
    Covid, racism, sexism,
    Homophobia is another,
    That needs to go away.

    Life has to get worse,
    Before it gets better,
    Before the rainbow comes,
    Comes and makes your day.

    Wherever you go,
    There will always be hope,
    It is in the air,
    Whether you believe it’s there or not.

  19. HOPE

    Life is a rollercoaster
    It has its ups and downs,
    It may be dark and scary.
    Sometimes, all I can do is weep.

    But,even after all that,
    Hope is everywhere,
    It is there in the wind and the sky,
    And the leaves and the snow,
    And so we continue.

  20. Hope

    Life isn’t an rainbow,
    It has rainbow,
    It has rain,
    And clouds and wind.
    There are falls and hurts,
    Sometimes, all I can do is cry.

    But, even after all that , life is not perfect at all
    Life is colourful ,
    Hope is there in cotton candy ,
    And is reading and peace.
    We hope when we see love.

  21. I Have Hope

    Nothing has been to easy,
    but I have hope it will change.

    People had to fight for their rights,
    what they believe in
    and sometimes their life.

    But I have hope,
    I have hope we can make others smile.
    I have hope we can all live together.
    I have hope we can change, not the world,
    but the people of the world.

    I have hope we can make dreams come true
    and make the nightmares go away.
    I have hope we can make life easy,
    But, life won’t always be a piece of cake,
    You will face challenges while baking it
    but in the end it will come out perfect
    I have hope.

  22. I ask you for equality
    with rainbows in my eyes.
    Its just a sexuality
    you laugh and slap your thighs.
    But I still have hope.

    So what I like a girl?
    Why can’t I just be me?
    To dance and twirl,
    Its how I’m supposed to be
    But I still have hope.

    There are no reasons why
    we can not be united
    so much more than just gay and bi
    this must be righted
    But we still have hope

  23. HOPE

    Life isn’t like a endless rollercoaster.
    Life is like a maze, you never know when you will get to the end.
    It has ups and downs.
    And happiness and sadness.
    There are always sad times.
    But even after that,
    Life is full of caring people.
    There is still hope.

    Hope is there in dreams.
    And fresh mornings and rainbows.
    We hope when we see people smile.
    And so we continue.

  24. I still have hope

    I ask you for equality
    with rainbows in my eyes.
    It’s just a sexuality
    You laugh and slap your thighs.
    But I still have hope.

    So what I like a girl?
    Why can’t I just be me?
    To dance and twirl,
    It’s how I’m supposed to be
    But I still have hope.

    There are no reasons why
    we can not be united
    so much more than just gay and bi
    this must be righted
    But we still have hope.

  25. Stronger

    Life isn’t fair
    Life isn’t a simple walk in the park,
    Yet
    What is it?

    Life is a wheel of purpose,
    it spins round and round
    rolling up hills and speeding down them.

    You need to grow stronger,
    become braver,
    Accept who you are,
    Be your self
    Stay your self
    Keep Hope,
    This is the recipe for life.

    Life isn’t fair,
    Life isn’t a simple walking the park,
    Yet
    What is it?

    Life is a wheel of purpose,
    it spins round and round
    rolling up hills and speeding down them.
    Don’t Lose Hope!

  26. What is life?

    You wan’t a perfect life?
    Well let me tell you something.
    Life is no polished crystal,
    if it was you’d never be pleased.
    Life is no glistening diamond,
    it won’t always shimmer and shine.
    Life ain’t no picnic in the park,
    it can sometimes taste bitter.

    Although,
    when things get dark,
    there will be a light to fix it.
    When you happen to get hurt,
    you will have a bandage to heal it.

    Life be an endless maze,
    you never know what’s around the corner,
    it has it’s twists and turns
    and don’t forget the ups and downs
    and there is never an easy way out.

    “So you want an easy life,
    you say?”
    Well the entire world will tell you,
    “GO AWAY!”

  27. Always

    Sweet, the bird sing songs,
    Deep, the river runs long,
    Bright, the sun rises,
    Fight, the children tell us,

    But a fluffy cloud won’t protect you from the pouring rain,
    Life isn’t a cup of tea,
    No one can help the searing pain,
    But hope, we can choose to see.

    Sometimes I scream,
    Sometimes I smile,
    Sometimes the decisions take me a while,
    But through the chaos, the mes, the noise,
    Hope comes through with a louder voice,
    It calls this time,
    It shouts,
    It urges,
    It tells us to be stronger,
    Faster,
    Better,
    It tells us to have hope,
    Always.

  28. Life isn’t always fair,
    It has ups and downs,bumps and trips,
    And we still work through and make things great.
    There are good and bad days
    But sometimes i have to stop,
    But after,
    Life is like a wishing well,
    Hope is in there,
    And you have to wish for your dreams.
    We hope for it
    And we continue.

  29. Hope is always there

    Hope is always in the air,
    Even when the world may not seem fair,
    We have struggled and pushed and turned at every corner.

    A friend once told
    life Is like a building ,
    If It falls you build it again but better,

    BUT, at the end of a rainbow
    A pot of gold is what you will get .

    Hope will never descend from the air,
    I just know we can reach new heights,
    I know we can do It
    If we can do it together .

    Hope is always in the air,
    Even when the world may not seem fair,
    We have struggled and turned at every corner.

  30. Hope is Strong

    Life isn’t like a rollercoaster,
    It’s got ups and downs
    And twists and turns.
    There are goods and bads
    And all I can do is hold my puke.

    But even after all that

    Life is satisfying
    And delicious with a side of ice cream.
    Hope is there in every bite
    As long as I try with all my might
    And it almost tastes like chocolate delight.

    We hope we will see hope in the air.

  31. MY HOPE

    Why does it matter if I am a boy or a girl?
    Why can’t I grow up and run the world?
    Why is the stereotype still around
    That I should stay home and clean the ground?

    Why do all the girls have to grow up in this state
    Why are we forced to live in this place?
    I’m tired of being told ‘never go out alone’.

    Instead of all women having to follow these stupid rules
    Why don’t we tell our sons the truth?
    That women can do so much more than just reproduce.

    We won the battle for equal rights,
    But the war goes on day and night,
    As some women out there are fighting for their life.

    I have hope that one day,
    my granddaughters will have equal pay.

  32. Hope and Freedom

    Life is like a rollercoaster of ups and downs,
    What’s and where’s, whose and how’s,
    To know what to do and where to go you need to have a little hope

    Hope is worth standing up for,
    Taking risks and believing in,
    Hope is a symbol of life,
    Without hope there is no light

    Freedom is to have the rights to do what you want,
    Say what you want,
    Be what you want,
    You have to fight for freedom and stand up for what you believe

    Life is like a good book that you wish would never end,
    As strong as a tree that would never bend,
    A friendship you will never have to mend

  33. SILVER LINING

    Life may be a hurricane,
    Cold and dark and wet,
    But there always is the eye,
    Dry and warm and bright,

    Hot and hard and dry,
    But there is an occasional oasis,
    Or maybe a trickle of rain,
    Cooling and soothing and wet,

    So whenever your life is a hurricane,
    Or maybe a shifting desert,
    Remember there’s the eye of the storm,
    Dry and warm and bright,
    Or maybe the occasional oasis,
    Cooling and soothing and wet,
    Remember, there is always hope.

  34. Waterfall

    Today I do not feel hopeful,
    In fact I feel a bit blue
    But it’s ok,
    Because I know what to do.

    So I go outside in nature,
    I feel the sun,
    I see the waterfall,
    Again I feel joyful and full of fun.

    I feel happy,
    A smile spreads across my face,
    I look around and see nature,
    I feel like I have won the race.

  35. Hope can shine a light

    Life isn’t a straight path,
    But hope can shine a light in the darkest days,
    Hope is a rainbow shining,
    Hope is a sun rising over the horizon.

    Life is a package full of unexpected things,
    But hope can shine a light in the darkest days,
    Hope is a animal being freed in the wild,
    Hope is discovering new species.

    Life is a box of unpredicted mazes
    But hope can shine a light in the darkest days,
    Hope is when people recover,
    Hope is when young people succeed.

    So whatever happens,
    Hope can shine a light in the darkest days,
    Which will lead you to achieving your dreams.

  36. Life is like a roller coaster

    Life is like a roller coaster,
    Always full of ups and downs,
    One day this, the next one that.

    Life can be hopeful,
    A rainbow circling round the Earth,
    A jolly smile from the rising sun,
    Although you don’t see it my wonderful friends,
    It is there you just have to…
    Hope!

    Life is like a race,
    Don’t look back,
    Don’t let anyone take you off track,
    Keep going no matter how many times you fall.
    Life is like a race,
    Keep going no matter the pace.

    Life can be hopeful,
    Like music that makes the whole world get on its feet.
    The rainbow bird that spreads joy all around the world,
    Although you don’t see it, it is always there.

    Well my friends before you go,
    Let me share a little quote…
    You shouldn’t wait for the storm to pass
    You need to learn to dance in the rain.

    By Peter

    Life is like a rollercoaster of ups and downs,
    What’s and where’s, whose and how’s,

  38. Recovering

    This year has been difficult,
    We have all had our ups and downs,
    The world’s population is sinking to the ground,
    Not being able to go places makes us all frown.
    But now things are getting better,
    People are coming together,
    Schools are back open restaurants too,
    Being able to socialize with family and friends helps us feel better.
    But we have got to remember a virus is here,
    Let’s pray for hope, Silent cheer,
    Let’s come together whether on a device or through a screen protector,
    We will all get through this one day and we will recover.

  39. Rainbows

    Rainbows, rainbows oh how beautiful they are,
    They dance through the sky and beyond the great great sun,
    O’ you wish, you wish, how nice they are,
    Oh yes you can become one too.

    With hopes and dreams that flow by,
    That always make you feel like you could fly,
    So high, so high.

    That’s how you feel so good,
    When you think of the good things,
    Forget about the stress,
    Stop being depressed,
    Just feel how you want to feel,
    You are absolutely free,
    No matter what you are.

  40. Fairy tail land terrible tragedy !
    A beautiful land,
    As fair as can be,
    Lived a little fairy,
    Sweet as candy.
    The land is calm,
    There will be peace, as long as the queen lives,
    There is hope.
    One day the queen died,
    And everyone cried,
    The evil witch cast a spell,
    Hope is gone,
    She said there is no more happily ever after.

  41. Snow
    Snowflakes on their own are light and fragile,
    But together, they can make a blizzard or a large lump of snow.
    If they do not work together they will perish,
    Hope is what they rely on.
    They need to be one to build a blizzard,
    Because without each other they are nothing.

    Hope is how they fly across the world,
    Like majestic birds soaring through the sky,
    On their own they are strong,
    But together they are mighty.

  42. HOPE!
    Hope is what we need,
    Hope is what we should treasure,
    Hope is what we all have,
    If we work hard together.
    We need hope,
    If we want to cope,
    This will help us in life.
    If we have hope,
    The sun will come back,
    So I say, have hope my dear friend,
    That’s what you need,
    We need to overcome our fears if we want to succeed,
    All we need is hope!

    Or maybe the occasional oasis,
    Cooling and soothing and wet,
    Remember, there is always hope.

  44. We all have DREAMS

    Determination is what you need to succeed .
    Resilience is never giving up on on your dreams.
    Enthusiasm is loving the work that you achieve.
    Ambition is reaching for the stars.
    Self-belief is believing that you can do it!

    We can all fulfil our DREAMS

  45. Life is full of ups and downs
    Sometimes you won’t always get you way,
    We act like it’s the end,
    But light will come at the beginning of a new day,
    We will try and try and try again,
    So what if something doesn’t work,
    So what if we can’t do it,
    There are ups and downs in life,
    Remember we will win in the end.

  46. Life is like a roller coaster

    Life is like a roller coaster,
    I hope I don’t fall off,
    As it starts I feel excited,
    Whilst it’s moving, I’m feeling nervous.

    Life is like a roller coaster,
    Waiting for those chances,
    When I get to the top of the hill,
    I’m starting to feel a bit sick!

    Life is like a roller coaster,
    Now i’m feeling scared,

    It’s starting to speed up,
    Then, without warning, I do the-loop-de-loop.

    Life is like a roller coaster,
    It stops with a thud,
    I think back to hanging upside down,
    The good news was I made it!

    Life is like a roller coaster,
    As it slowed right, right down,
    My tummy felt a bit better,
    When I got off I said to myself,
    That wasn’t so bad after all.

  47. A feeling called hope
    Hope is hard to feel,
    Even if you may not think it’s real.
    But go out and live your dream,
    And the sun will set its beam,
    On you.
    When imagination turns into something greater,
    Don’t just sit there and say you’ll do it later.
    Go out enjoy!
    Have hope,
    Don’t mope.
    This is a feeling called HOPE.

    When sadness arises,
    You don’t know what to do.
    Go out!
    Let it out!
    But when it is still there,
    It is taking over you.
    Think happy,
    Have hope,
    Don’t mope.
    This is a feeling called hope.

  48. I Know hope is real,
    Do you know it too?
    It is in all of us.
    What makes you think of hope?
    Flowers, frogs and trees.
    What makes you think of hope?
    Cats, dogs and bees.
    What makes you think of hope?
    The stars in the sky.
    What makes you think of hope?
    The birds that fly.
    But sometimes you’re sad.
    That means you’re not glad.
    Right now I miss my family,
    They always bring me glee.
    And give me safety.
    What makes you think of hope?
    Parents hugs and kisses
    What makes you think of hope?
    Excited birthday wishes.

  49. People are acting
    The forests are burning,
    The animals are dying,
    The pollution is rising,
    Yet we are surviving,
    But people are acting,
    And should make things right,
    Because no matter what happens,
    They will put up a fight,
    So let’s not sit down and mope,
    Because these people give us hope.

    We can’t see our friends,
    Let alone go outside,
    But the world will not end,
    It’s just a rollercoaster ride,
    But people are acting,
    And should make things right,
    Because no matter what happens,
    They will put up a fight,
    So let’s not sit down and mope,
    Because these people give us hope.

    We should treat people the same,
    Whether they are white or black,
    But unfortunately,
    Some people don’t do that,
    But people are acting,
    And should make things right,
    Because no matter what happens,
    They will put up a fight,
    So let’s not sit down and mope,
    Because these people give us hope.

  50. Hope is great
    Hope is great,dont waste it
    Hope is great,we can make it
    Being inside causes stress
    Making the house into a mess
    Following the rules fighting for lives
    Sadly, every day somebody dies
    The challenges we face can be tough
    Not saving lives can be rough
    Scientists working every day
    Trying to make a cure so humans can stay
    Hope is everything hope is great
    Lets just hope for another day

  51. Hope is life,
    Hope is like a light,
    Hope is a beautiful feeling,
    Hope makes your chances grow,
    Hope is a real star, shining brightly,
    Hope is something you have to believe in.

  52. When times are tough,
    And really rough,
    You must look up and see in yourself,
    A bit of sunshine.

    Sunshine will light the way,
    In dark and gloomy times.

    Sunshine will light the way everyday,
    And bring light and hope.
    So i’ll say sunshine, sunshine,
    Light my way!

  53. The Tunnel

    I listen to my steady heartbeat,
    As if waiting for it to stop,
    Sitting in the backseat,
    Feeling numbed and lost.

    I enter the tunnel

    I can hear them shouting,
    Yelling, screaming, cursing,
    Why does my heart feel like its
    breaking.

    It grows darker

    We turn a corner,
    There are less people about,
    But I can feel the hatred grow stronger,
    I try to block them out.

    I stumble around not knowing where to go

    We reach the door,
    I feel his hand on mine,
    Making me feel warmer,
    Safer, protected.

    I can see a spark of light…

    We reach the ground floor,
    He turns towards me,
    I feel my eyes water,
    He holds his hands out and….

    I run forward towards the light until….

    I pull into the hug,
    Laying my head on his neck,
    Snuggling into him,
    Feeling…
    Safer, warmer, happier.

    I’m out of the tunnel holding his hand

  54. Anihope

    I will tell you people,
    Life is like an adventurous jungle,
    Which includes hope,
    Hope is important,
    Every single animal and insects has it in them.

    Don’t forget that the storm will pass,
    Be patient, the sun will shine again,
    Add a tiny bit of hope while waiting for the storm to end,
    Life is like an adventurous jungle.

  55. “Hope” is the thing with feathers
    That perches in the soul
    And sings the tune without the words
    And never stops at all,

    And sweetest in the gale is heard;
    And sore must be the storm
    That could abash the little bird
    That kept so many warm.

    I’ve heard it in the most chill land
    And on the strangest sea,
    Yet never, in extremity,
    It asked a crumb of me
