Best Guiding Light Poems

When my world grows dim, I trust the guiding light.
At times the world seems a lie, with nothing to believe.
Against a darkened sky a single flame burns bright.

Facts can obscure the truth when handled with slight,
for there is one among us who is working to...

The Guiding Light
The Word of God begins my day, 
It is the light throughout my way,

When darkness envelopes my night, 
The Word of God shines forth its light, 

It is a lamp unto my feet, 
The lighthouse to which I retreat,

The guiding light, I hold it high,
It...

As I sit there looking out to sea,
Reflects a picture of a different time.
Its white washed walls set against the granite rock,
As the sea pounds it, with waves of brine.
A bridle path runs along the cliff,
Worn down, by previous generations past.
Now given way to the...

Life’s Guiding Light

He stands alone against the twilight sky
while guiding weary sailors on their course
traversing every danger by and by
that coastal waters seemingly endorse.

A Beacon in the darkness lending hope
to ship-worn seamen at their journeys end,
this leading Lighthouse helping them to cope
with perils they can...

When worried about my security's steadfastness 
since I see not the future, 
I trust the guiding Light… my God – the omniscient Supreme One
Who knows my tomorrow; and can brighten my eternity!

When frustrated by spiritual crises
and groping for hope’s radiance, 
I follow the guiding Light…...

Bleeding music into
A heart who cries
Tears so gentle, so tender
They reflect the hope
So often called to mind
By one who knows
Lost love – left behind

Breathing light across
The soul who smiles
Peace and wonder, inspiration
Filled with grace, peace
Aliveness, a dance
Waltz of healing, stirring
Awake the flames
Of compassion, a brilliant
Whisper...

Faith - a Guiding Light
In the realm of life, where shadows dance,
There exists a force, a divine expanse,
A beacon of light, through darkest night,
A flame that flickers, ever burning bright.

Faith, the compass of the wandering soul,
Guiding our steps towards an unknown goal,
It whispers softly, in the depths of our...

Have I ever told you
that I'd be lost without you?
Your love is my guiding light;
without which, I would be blind.
Fate favoured me
the day we met;
and I feel forever blessed.
Do you know that when I sleep
you sweeten my dreams;
defying reality
on the wings of hope?
Until I dined...

In an Indian home, at break of day,
It is a tender scene, in a timeless way.
A mother's love, a daughter's quest,
In this morning light, they're truly blessed.

On the floor, their space is shared,
With books and notes, they're both prepared.
The young girl's eyes, so full of...

Guiding Light

Sometimes the road gets lonely
When I must walk alone.
And there are times my heart will ache
For just a glimpse of home.
Yet always in my heart you’ll find
An everlasting love
That guides me through uncertain times
With light from up above.

The

glow

from the fire

of your great vision

has changed the direction of my soul

Once I lacked the will to live and carry on with life

Now, a forward marching foot soldier shining a guiding light for others to follow...

Led by the bright lone Star of Bethlehem
there knelt, with staff and lambs, a shepherd boy.
His glowing eyes gazed at the sight that then
drew many by this Star that promised joy.

They joined him 'round the holy manger there,
and shepherd boy felt love within him rise.
He...

Brilliant crimson-gold beam lights the way… for meandering lazy river to follow

My Guiding Light
As I sit here on this warm, solid shore
beneath a lighthouse I adore.
It stands perfect, beautiful and mint
the roof shingled, a lovely brown tint.
its beacons, a blazing blue hue, 
shine light upon all that I knew.

One day a while ago. Past the fog of the...
