My Hope. My Vote. My Future.

In a world of uncertainty and strife,
I hold in my heart a precious life,
A beacon of hope, burning bright,
In the depths of the darkest night.

My hope, a flame that never dies,
It soars to meet the endless skies,
In the face of adversity, it stands,
Guiding me with its gentle hands.

My vote, a voice, a sacred right,
To shape the world with all my might,
I cast it not just for today,
But for a better tomorrow's ray.

My future, an unwritten tale,
In every choice, I set my sail,
With hope as my compass true,
I march ahead, my dreams pursue.

In the shadows of doubt and fear,
I'll let my hope be crystal clear,
For in its light, I see the way,
To a brighter, kinder, fairer day.

Through the storms that may arise,
My hope will be my greatest prize,
With courage in my heart, I'll cope,
For it's my hope, my vote, my future, my hope.

My hope, my vote, my future, entwine,
In this journey of life, they define,
The path I walk, the choices I make,
For a brighter world, for humanity's sake.
