What do you see?

What do you see in the boy's face?
Rage? Despair? Weariness?
You would be right.
Do you wonder why?
He's furious at the world that is selfish.
He's woes that life is not what it's made out to be.
He wearies with the cruelties he sees everyday.
He's angry that people seldom truly live.
He's despairs people are heart broken
And he tires of his own breaking.

Look at the boy again.
What do you see now?
Faith? Hope? Determination?
He's faithful in the birds' selfless songs.
His hope lies in a better world tomorrow morning.
He's determined to achieve his dreams.
He takes faith in the love he feels and knows he has.
He takes hope in one day he won't be alone.
He's determined to make the world better, one person's life at a time.
