OF HOPE

OF HOPE Hope springs forth, like a riverIn the heart of man, till life’s endThat he be blessed round and roundHis future better than yesterday Hope comes in and bears the storm Like a mother, in the heart of man,She does not rest, till the child is calmWhen the travails of life weigh him downHope gives solace to the weary soul She comes in and bears the storm Hope is like sunrays, in the heart of manWhich drive darkness away from his eyesWhen adversities, like tempest, riseIn the great and mighty sea of life He comes in and bears the storm

I thought this to be a very good poem, the flo was good and the idea was a good one. Hope is the only thing that lights our eyes, more precious than money, it gives us the strength not to give up...... Its my favorite word,,,,,, I also named my dog Hope...... Got her at a very lonely time in my life when people were hurtful. She stays by my side as does the Hope of God and a better life after death. sincerely, Patty

Yes hope is one of the things that keep us going and without it, life would be miserably hopeless. There was a shop on my way to school, owned by a trader, the sign post had a motto: "If there is life, there is hope". I was in the primary or elementary school. I was fascinated by this, so I copied it into my note book. Thank you for stopping by to read and comment. Best wishes. T.

...Interesting...

hope lights up a man's soul when all lights seem to be going off; it comes and stands at the door to the heart of man like Christ does. Great work sir. best wishes. Wonder.
