Faith, Hope, and Charity

Faith is salvation
a promised eternal life
heaven the reward

Hope is heaven's gift
the soul receives salvation
remorse is the key

Charity given
others may benefit now
life is your reward

Faith is salvation
Hope is redemption granted
Charity is life

I've enjoyed reading your list of Haikus Mac. Faith Hope and Charity. The three points trinity, with the fourth pointing down earthward. Sincerely, Moses

A very spiritual perspective on the three beatitudes, Mac. And I like the way you bring all three together in your last verse. Well done! Love, Carolyn

Very nicely said, Mac. And charity is love, too. And from that we can have life eternal, like you said. It is nice to see your testimony of our Lord through your poetry.
