Best And Hope Poems
~Love Faith And Hope~
(Quatrain)
Love faith n' hope, always keeps me moving and helps me along all on my go,
Love faith n' hope, are very powerful and inside of me they just make me glow,
There's nothing much that I could do if I didn't have at all my sweet God
He keeps me going, and He showers me with love n' blessings right to this sod.
Love, faith hope and peace, of each I have a big handful right here with me,
Of all these we all need at least some, to help us go thru life's journey you see,
Without love faith hope, it's really hard to live by, it would be like being already just dead,
We all need love, hope, faith and peace, to make dreams comes true in our hearts n' head.
Love, hopes and dreams start with a little bit of faith and all starts in our hearts n' brains,
Life is very hard as it is, and all do need basketfuls of love an hope, n' more so when it just rains,
Lets pray to God for more love faith and strength, and always ask Him for a tad more,
Don't get discouraged because with God, love n' hope you can always endure all the hardships n' downpours.

-So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13(KJV)

John 3:16 (NIV)

Exodus 14: 13 ( NIV )
“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”
- Mark Twain-
In the frame there is a photo
which I took of you that day
just a month before you left me
on my own and went away.
It reminds me with insistence
of the things I can’t forget,
every moment I shared with you
since the day that we first met.
I stroke your face and flowing hair
But fake it is; you are not there.
I keep staring at the picture
Looking deep into your eyes
While the hope stirs up inside me
That you’ll take me by surprise
When you whisper out of nowhere
“Here I am, back by your side.”
Days have gone; the rooms are empty,
there’s a void I can’t replace.
In my mind the doubts keep hinting
that this is a hopeless case.
Yet I find the strength to save me
from the dangers of despair:
It’s the faith that keeps me going.
I will cope while it is there.
I never knew that things were wrong.
This is the place where you belong.
I keep staring at the picture
Looking deep into your eyes
While the hope stirs up inside me
That you’ll take me by surprise
When you whisper out of nowhere
“Here I am, back by your side.”

When the news is hard to handle and it’s difficult to cope
We like to take a long walk…and rediscover hope.
Today’s walk was along the shoreline and in the salty morning air
just as we had hoped…hope was waiting there.
As we walked along the beach early before arrival of the crowds
we found hope that cloudy morning in the sun peeking through the clouds.
We found hope in the faithfulness of the waves and the rolling of the seas
In the confidence of the gulls as they floated on the breeze.
We found hope in a couple holding hands..the woman pregnant…hope within her womb
In baby birds learning how to catch fish and in buds on flowers about to bloom.
Then up ahead we saw something we hadn’t seen on this beach before
A baby girl and a puppy…playing together along the shore.
The puppy was darting back and forth her tail wagging to and fro
The baby girl laughed and clapped her hands…and begged her mom to let her go.
We watched them as they played…as they danced together for a while
The longer we stayed, the more we watched…the broader was our smile.
Yes, after our walk together this morning we found it easier to cope…
for strewn along our path we found so many instances of hope.
And we were reminded when we open up our hearts
as we stop to survey our domain….
all the troubles of the world seem to fade away…
and only beauty and hope remain.
I feel like I am a fly that lives for no purpose
Doing anything for no reason
Death to me is seven days away!
How long will this torment in my soul last?
There is a longing in me;
Big as the oceans:
Stretching beyond the shores of my solitary confinement.
And my soul lies bleeding;
Bleeding from the wounds of afflictions.
Bitterness poisons my thoughts;
Creating a huge dark cloud;
covering the diamond stars that glitter in my mind.
A drought of grace and love dwells in my heart;
And resentment has grown in me as a cactus in a desert.
Shadows of death and doubt breathe upon me,
Like vultures waiting on me as if I was a dying prey.
Destruction is taking a step closer to me every hour.
And I’m folded as a cabbage,
Squeezed on a corner,
Trembling and crying out:
“My LORD, My FATHER,
Why do you forsake me?
Clearly as the clean air; I am nothing without YOU.
Rise up my LORD!
Rise up as the sun rises up at the break of dawn wiping out the darkness,
Let YOUR light shine upon my life and put a song in the bird's heart.
Let me rejoice at the beauty of YOUR sunrise
Let me rejoice at the first ray of light that shines a beam of gold
Let YOUR light dry the tears of anguish and loneliness caused by darkness.
Restore back peace and love in my life.
Kill the torment in my soul
And in its place rise a sweet essence.
Pour rains of grace and love in my dry heart
And bring back to life the sweet fragrant flowers of spring.
Blow away the bitter clouds of thought,
And leave my mind stretched as the universe;
beautified by billions of stars glittering as eternity.
Chase away the dark shadows that breath upon me,
And let the doves bring to me the twigs of salvation.
For in my inner depths breathes hope and faith in YOU.
Let YOUR deliverance and providence shine upon me as the cloudless noon day sun;
And FATHER;
Let not the light of YOUR eyes set away from me,
Lest I become proud in YOUR eyes.”

We are strong, united, with strength and hope
A family, ready to work together
Strength in numbers, we are able to cope
To dismiss bad, feel light as a feather
Sharing, loving and pursuing our dreams
A family, ready to work together
Time is here and not as hard as it seems
To never give up, hold our heads up high
Sharing, loving and pursuing our dreams
Release our words from the silence to fly
We are willing to be our very best
To never give up, hold our heads up high
We are grateful and in this, we can rest
I see it, feel it, and know to be true
We are willing to be our very best
It comes down to all of us, me and you
We are strong, united, with strength and hope
I see it, feel it, and know to be true
Strength in numbers, we are able to cope

God has tasked poets,
With keeping Hope alive,
Love in all their labours,
Anger under control,
Sadness from overflowing,
Romance from slipping off the page,
And most poets can take heart from their effort,
To instill in others what they write in indelible ink,
For all who cross their page,
And read between the lines.
Rose petals, how lovely
Though layered, still pretty
The beauty adorable
Only a moment capable.
Each rose has its color
Each eyes flare adore
Make it bundled together
A lover eyes meant forever.
Her beauty last lovely short
Images ingrained in his heart
Though life is but a rose
Good things last, I suppose.
Rose may die in her stead
Wonder pure rose sprout instead
Hope and love wait not in vain
Trust tomorrow's sunrise get us win.
I use to cut my wrist and hope to die,
You never understood the pain behind my smile,
Depression took over my body and all I did was cry.
But I couldn’t feel too sorry for myself I fought to survive.
But when I couldn’t take the hurt and the lies;
I’d cut my wrist and hope to die.
I use to get insecure and wonder why.
Why did you break my heart and made me cry,
So then I’d cut my wrist and hope to die
This was definitely our last fight,
I shed a couple tears and wished to die that night.
You were my soul mate, my best friend, you were like my brother
Now I reminisce on the days when we use to love each other.
Now I’m stronger, I’ve moved on
And you’re now in past,
I regret the day I believed you when you said,
“Darling I’m gonna make us last”.
Jim flicked off the bedroom wall LIGHT
With HOPE of a wild sex filled night
But the tone of his wife
Made him fear for his life
Guess she’s keeping her legs shut tight

CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO DIE
Black Lady, I have loved you,
all of my life, I've loved you,
some things won't change and they're what nobody sees.
I feel the wind, it's blowing,
where I am always going,
I'll be the sunlight flashing love through the trees.
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'd never mean to make you cry
Black Lady
I've loved you all of my life.
I hear the forest calling,
sweet summer rain is falling,
Black Lady there are no more things I should see,
life will go on to something,
though it has come to nothing,
all of my life I've reached for things that can't be.
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'd never mean to make you cry
Black Lady
I've loved you all of my life.
Some night when God is speaking,
I'll feel his love around me,
I'll end it all and I guess this is why;
reaching the highest pleasure;
living the great adventure;
all of my life, is invitation to die.
Cross my heart and hope to die
I'd never mean to make you cry
Black Lady
I've loved you all of my life.

There are days when I steer clear of putting pen to paper
Afraid what my mind would spew
I look into the core of fear
Into the core of what hurts
All the questions that entail
The lingering doubts
Wondering if I can handle this
Then I remember all those other moments
That came before
They had meaning
They were an intricate element
Of what I am dealing with today
Sometimes I just have to push through
The doubts
Challenge the fear
And rely on all the lessons learned
In order to persevere
Nobody cares about the in between
Just on how you finished
So if today is doubtful I will push through
I have hope,
I have faith
Even that at times is enough
To see the sun shining through the miasma

“I walk a decrepit graveyard alone, in mists stirred by contrast winds
As a storm brews, I am grateful that I know in my heart he's alive
Skies bream with promise of torrent rain and shelter must be found
It appears; I’ve lost my shawl, and feel the cold chill even as I dream
I’m convinced it’s due to the storm; not because I walk amidst the dead
Further, I see through clammy mist a mausoleum, looms in the silence
As I near those rusty iron gates, leaves rustle loud in the silence
And I picture armed vagrants once here, perhaps chased by the winds
Now I rest assured, I am alone as I search this place of the dead
Painful moans erupt from within; my heart leaps; could it be, he's alive?
‘Who are you?’ My hear raced fiercely, convinced, this concludes my dream
Intermittent moonlight cast upon the floor, My Ross, at last is found!”
In a tomb her Ross laid in the silence; by love and hope kept alive
Calling upon soft summer winds; manifested in persistent dreams
Which resounded that among the dead, her beloved would be found

In Commemoration Of Nigeria's Independence Day
Things are awry
Nothing is working
Prices are goin’ up
Top guns aren’t sorry
More mess they’re creating
Corruption is eating us up
Yes, conditions are dreary
Institutions are wasting
But we won’t let up
Truly, many are weary
People are dying
But we won’t give up
The future seems scary
But we won’t give in
No, we won’t give up!
We won’t always worry
We’ll keep striving,
playing our part and never giving up
In this, we’ll tarry
For we see Nigeria rising
And we won’t give up.
"The adversities in your life can be handled by the way that you cope. Strong faith, along with your wishes and dreams, will bring you new optimism and hope."
