Hope

Hope I care not for the odds Spoken by sooth sayer voices They are blinded by statistics For a seemingly sure concept Though a bleakness dampens Every fainting ray of light There exist an unexplainable God Characteristic of sensitivity Endowed to man by birthright To no other creature but he In my bleakest hour I dare not say I do not believe What I search for is an impossible concern A thing so obscured There seemingly just isn't a way I trust not in mortal man He does not grok the serverity of his own plight For God my Father has just the plan My wants are as heavy on my heart As a weight to a drowning man I can not save nor free a single sinner man To heal the unhealable Lame to walk again To save the dieing Breath to life again I view both the rising and setting of sun I walk in a light not viewed by temporal man The wretchedness of worldly life As I seek to do what is right Infringed by fear of plotted death What so ever to be my plight Hope sustains when all reasonable efforts are tested Hope- the belief in worldly impossibilities Hope -the sweetest of God given characteristics Hope -the strength to endure the unimaginable Hope -the force of movement to that which would make still Hope -the song for the heart when all instruments fail Hope -the submission to death for there is life yet awaiting Hope –the gift from God for our rejoicing

Fantastic poem! I love the line "Hope- the song for the heart when all instruments fail" That one line sums up hope.
