My Name Is Hope

I have seen two decades, the world at war and technology changing,

I am a 90s baby.

We are the last of our kind, but also the first.

We grew up in a generation of playing outside,

Yet we became known in a world of technology.

I have felt the pain of a nation when those towers fell,

I am daddy’s little girl, living in a terror filled world.

We were too young to understand.

We wanted to tell mommy to stop crying,

Yet we were too scared to move.

I have heard people around me fight cancer, battle disease, and react to Ebola,

I am a teenager in these desperate times.

We are the worlds hope for the future.

We are looked down upon,

Yet they expect so much from us.

I am a living Hope for a nation,

I am a child of God.

We are the last of a decade.

We are the last of the 90s babies,

Yet we are a living hope.
