Hope




When all seems dark
Hope whispers "Wait
Spring always follows Winter."
Do not give in
Do not give up
The burden for a splinter.
Green grass is waiting
Sleeping quietly
Just below the snow.
And joy will come again
To you and I
If we wait I surely know.
So cling to hope
And wait on God
He has never failed us dear.
Kneel and pray
And know He waits
To banish all that's drear.

A Flare


It is a flare and nothing more.
A little gift of this new year.
A flame to remind me God is love,
To teach me to lean on Him.
It is a flare and nothing more,
A minor annoyance on this journey,
A stone in my shoe,
Unimportant.
It is a flare and nothing more.
God give me strength
To walk along
Bearing all He sends my way.
And give me patience to meet each task
That I must accomplish each day.
It is a flare and nothing more,
Perhaps a reminder to kneel
To trust in Him,
I thank You Father
For this gift,
This reminder
This flare
But more importantly
This year of life.
