A Poem on Hope

HOPE is reaching out for God
And knowing He is there;
Hope is searching for release,
And finding it through prayer…

HOPE is happiness and joy,
And rainbows in the sky –
Hope is feeling God is near
When you begin to cry…

HOPE is looking for a dream
That someday will come true;
Hope is waiting on the Lord,
When your days are sad and blue…

HOPE is wishing for a star
That will bring you peace and light;
Hope is striving for God’s love
To uphold you day and night!
