We wish we could be festive today,
But the situations around don't demand for joy,
We wish we could shout Hurray!!,
But we have no balloons nor toys.

We desire and covet the nice clothes,
But the slums here are full of rags,
We wish the rain would meet us in our nice coats,
But sunshine still leaves us with scars.

We are young and vibrant after all,
But...
