Here are two poems by a wondeful person called Davina. One is entitled 'Life' the other is 'Hope'. They're really touching, moving, human...

Life:
When I think of life I feel happy
I think of the good things and the bad things
Life is great, life is life, life is surely a bright light,
Life is wonderful, wonderful,
I should say life is about living, life is about breath,
Life is love, death, success and hope,
Life is not everlasting.
But I say to you truly...what would you do without life

Hope:
I hoped for a great day and it came.
I prayed to Jehovah and I praised his name,
for I have to say without a doubt that I used to be religious,
but I no longer am for there is great hope if you are religious
or not for hope is like positivity,
and do not forget that there is always hope.
Hope for new things,
Hope for a better world
Hope for the innocent people
Hope for a good successful healthy life
Hope is all of us
Hope is in the heart
And in my faith and heart I found God and Hope again.
