You are my hope; our hope.
You are starting out fresh.
You have a chance to do it right.
To listen to the voices.
To accept the gifts.
To love despite wrongs.
You and your friends.
Although, like us, you will make mistakes, you can do better than we have.
Choose peace.
Choose justice.
Choose compassion.
Choose beauty.
Choose love.
Our hopes and our dreams rest in you.
They are our gift.
Use them well.
