Shadows Of Hope
Hope is the blossom that blooms overnight;
often in a time of utmost need;
true seekers of God seek out the light;
hope is the wish they’ll succeed.
Hope is the eternal light of creation;
all of us walk in shadows of hope;
the focus of hope is our salvation;
only a few can envision its scope.
Faith brings light out of the darkness;
illuminating our every path;
shadows of hope, gently caress;
love supercedes all wrath.
Guilt is the blessing; leading to hope;
allowing us to see the Light;
accepting our guilt; we all must cope;
as shadows of hope in the night.
Shadows display the stain of our guilt;
we are God’s flowers in the garden;
in the light of truth; God’s flowers wilt;
but the Gardener grants us a pardon.
All life began; illuminated by the Light;
basking in brightly lit meadows;
with darkness spreading; all became night;
and hope was turned into shadows;
Islands of hope, cast on oceans of night;
casts those shadows our way;
shadows of hope; bring back the Light;
God’s love; lighting the day.
