I can only do what i can, not knowing what today can bring. I can only do little, and hope for a better life. My hands are wide, yet i can only hold little. My heart is filled with thought, hoping and hoping. Please help if you can, i beg with so much hope, please and please, i need only little. Nnenna Hannah Metu 2011
