On the Hopes Street

He was a cameraman in the Vietnam War and
a movie-actor.
He was an adventurer,
a rebel,
a hippie and a free man.
One day when I met him
even before he left our country,
he gifted me keys and a house.
He said, "Live here."
He probably had a hunch.
 
Where our path takes us, no one knows.
Live where you feel good, stop, just stop
and live on the Hopes Street.
 
When someone hasn't found their island on the waves of the sea of life,
it is so great when there is a home waiting on the Hopes Street.
 
She had a home and a husband.
She is a woman who can manage.
That's what she hoped.
 
Then debts accumulated, problems begun and everything got lost.
She has a small daughter and son,
they need home-grass where to be, I gave them keys
and assured, "Live here,"
Because I have a hunch.
