Best Hopework Poems


God Thethe Maker

my hands are not d work of my hand
but the work of thine hand
'u' are what 'u' said u are
 
am  .not mine  but thine
the effort that made me is not mine;
i'm not made in u.s or japan but  heaven
'u' are what 'u' said u  are
 
when i want to see 'u'
i look at the  mirror and smile
cos' i have seen 'u'
'cos i believe 'u' made me in ur image
'u' are what 'u' said 'u' are
 
the sun, not created in God image:
the enemies can't stop from rising
not even  from  shining
so can my enemies stop me?
from rising and shining? no! no! no!!!
'u' are'my lord' what 'u' said 'u' are
 
the chair and the alter
ur son  and ur dauther
are not the reason i'm .here
but i'm here to say thank 'u'
for 'u' are what 'u' said 'u' are

Return Unto Him

Return unto him the lover of your soul.
Your protector, your loving hand that guides you.
Return onto me-let my love flow through you and work through you.
Giving you, peace and joy-return unto me.
Who gives you life eternal?
Let God’s will work in your life.
Return unto me and surrender your whole spirit unto me.
Watch the miracles that can happen when you return unto me. What is mine that is your soul so you can see heaven?
Just return unto Him the lover of your soul. Jesus will return your joy and salvation, if  you just return unto Him.

Lamentations of An Idealistic Individual

I'm dreaming of a better tomorrow
          With brighter days and more smiles

I'm dreaming of a place without sorrow
           Where there are no more trials

I am hoping daily for the people everywhere
            To reach out and help someone in need

I am praying steadfastly for everlasting care
             From all nations united to plant the seed

Of peace, love, and understanding to everyone
             And that no more tears or blood will be shed

And all people from corner to corner are no longer alone
              And don't wind up in wars which leaves innocence dead

I'm closing my eyes and seeing a place full of joy
              Where there are no prejudices and hate

I'm dreaming of a world for every girl and boy
               Born of the next generation that is great

I may do the dreaming but there are others just like me
               Who want the same things for our youth

Let us stop dreaming and work on making it a reality
                And let us all work together to beautify the earth


The Man You See

He goes to work each morning                                                                                     
often before its light
careful to remember                                                                                                     
the things he must get right.

The traffic is often heavy                                                                                              
the sky is often grey
but he has to make the best of things                                                                              
to get him through the day.

He goes back home each evening                                                                       
sometimes after dark
too late to see those he loves                                                                                       
and take them to the park.

He feels a little weary                                                                                                  
with nothing much to say
and slowly drifts off to sleep                                                                                          
too tired to save his day.

But deep in the heart of the man you see
lives the man he wants to be
free to live life, his own way
true to himself, every single day.

A man who can make dreams come true
a man like me, a man like you
A man who can set his spirit free
to be the man he wants to be.

He goes to work each morning                                                                                      
the sky is often grey
and it’s, just another day,                                                                                                  
just another day………….

Why

While i sit and look at the way things are going in my life, I wonder why there's so much 
headache and strife.  Nothing seems to work out no matter how hard i try, Sometimes it 
makes me want to ccurl up and die.  But that is not an option when i think of my girl, the only 
thing to do is shake it off and give it another whirl.  I am supposed to show her the way, But 
it seems i let her down a little more each day.  my wife and daughter they hold my heart,So 
with a new day i have to give it another start. If this was not full of problems, worry then this 
would be someone elses story.  When things go wrong i don't know what to say,I can just 
shake my head and pray.  Maybe someday things will go my way, one things for sure it is 
not today.  I work so hard, for so long, this is beginning to sound like a sad country song.  I 
work to the point where so much hurts from my back legs, tendons,joints, It makes me 
wonder what is the point.  I have so many hopes and dreams for my family to do, As I'm 
sure that you all have too.  Is there a light at the end of the tunnel well i hope it is true, but 
for now it is just another train coming through.  So i have to get off the tracks once more, 
like i have done so many times before.  It sounds like i am crying or singing the blues 
unfortunately this all is true, I hope and pray that things are going better for 
you.                                                                                richard hardiman
