Drink Thee, Cool Water From Hope's Bright, Clear Streams, Part Four

Drink Thee, Cool Water From Hope's Bright, Clear Streams
      ( Hold True, Hope Shall Reward Thee )

Hope soars so far above earth's highest peak
miracles given the strong and the weak.
Rest thy weary soul in Hope's dear reprieves
not in man's vanity that so deceives.

In Love and Mercy's realms, Hope's truth resides
maintain thee faith to make colossal strides.
Obey thy heart, hold true to thy sweet dreams
drink thee, cool water from Hope's bright, clear streams.

Look forward in that O' so brilliant Light
walk thee not in blindness of despair's night.
In heart's deep desire, rests Hope's great treasure
by deep faith, receive thy fullest measure.

With candle lit, fear not night and dark pain.
On that true path, Hope will always remain.

Eve Roper Date: 5/11/2017 4:41:00 PM Well done, Robert,I enjoyed reading. I hope and faith always remains in God's hands. I too feel the sonnet is a little difficult to write since it does have a format to follow. Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 5/12/2017 9:02:00 AM Thank you. Finished the fifth an final sonnet this morn and presented here. I hope these five sonnets written on Hope's great treasures may inspire, inform and help some that may read and need such . As a total these five sonnets were indeed a hard task to keep composing without being too repetitive and bland..
