WHY DO I HAVE HOPE

A heartfelt poem from a dear friend . . .

WHY DO I HAVE HOPE

Why do I have hope

For a better world

When wars and conflict

Challenge our peace?

 

Why do I believe in love and light,

Sharing and deliverance

When darkness and deprivation

Dull the human mind?

Why do I believe that one day

Men, women and children

Will not suffer with disease

But instead have wellbeing?

 

I believe because the Creative Force

Sustains and restores my faith

That the time is soon to come

When wrongs will be made right.

 

I believe because the air we breathe

Is full of radiant light

To heal and make well,

Like a diamond in the sky.

 

I have hope when I see the seeds of good

In acts of kindness.

And I have faith in the ability

To overcome the doubts.

 

Heavenly Father, lover of mankind,

We dwell within your heart of love.

Poised between two worlds

The high road will be My Way.
