Hope is in the eyes of a child, hope is the child!

It is the child who sees the light in the darkness, and walks towards it.

The child who reaches out for hope, and readily takes it's hand.

It is hope that gives us a world of children who stand tall in adversity.

Children who remain strong in the face of war.

A child who conquers disease and poverty.

It is the child that drives man to make a better world for the future.

Hope is a child!
