She was there when the battle was won Dressed in the purest form of light Even so when the agony was raging and bold Asha was whispering happy and bright
She was covered in dirt and stains But in the cleanest clothes as well Experiencing dark and pain Although suffering was never in the way
Asha was always present Needed or not she was there Be it a devastating event Or an hour of victorious affair
She helps you to get up From a calamitous fall And inspires you to reconstruct Dreams broken together with the walls
Asha is ubiquitous Asha is everywhere Hope is ubiquitous Hope is everywhere Because Asha and hope is one
This was a poem dedicated to all those who were affected by Typhoon Haiyan especially the Philippines.
