Hope

Hope lies not in man
Not in the hopes of  things accomplished
Not even in family and friends
No, hope lies in Jesus Christ
The Savior of this world

Ewwww. Never even thot that someone could come up with a spiritual write. How nice. Just for me,...could you please make savior capitalized? Will be lookin for your name on the final list! ps..thanks for the kind remarks..Here's my take on this whole website..read...appreciate...help others..leave your sensitivities in the bathroom. We can all grow as great poets together..No one has arrived yet. Bless u, Gwendolen
