Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Hope Is My Anchor

Hope is the anchor that secures my soul
Needed for endurance as the Bible foretold
One of three qualities, along with faith and love
I am filled with hope to honor my Holy Father above

Hope in God's promises lightens my heavy load
It's instilled in me when I venture down a dark road
Hope has power to keep me moving in the right direction
And there I will find the mercy and love of God's protection

Hope is a means of trusting in what will be
Faith in the unseen; that is what hope means to me
Life without it fences me inside a brick wall without a gate
I believe in the Word of God;  I do not adhere to destiny or fate

Paul Callus May 2, 2016 at 3:34 AM I agree with you, Lin...hope is our anchor; once hope is lost, it also means that love and faith have already been abandoned. ~ This is a lovely and uplifting poem; well done! ~ Regards // paul Lin Lane May 2, 2016 at 6:24 AM That's so true, Paul. Without hope what is there to believe in? Life would be so futile. Thanks so much for liking this one. ;)
