HOPE IS A ROAD

Hope is a road
stretching from the soul
and into eternity,
a path of faith traveled by steps
upon the foundation of God’s word.

It is to see beyond the landscape
knowing heaven is one’s destination,
even when the journey
leads to a valley,
there is peace in the walk,
because the Lord’s spirit is one’s companion.

To feel His boundless love
breathe across life as a refreshing wind
is to pause and allow the breeze
a chance to remind and strengthen
that in Him all things our possible.

Embracing all the promises He has given
so no vale nor darkness conquers with despair,
ever clinging to the gift of His grace,
which blesses with such calm
when others travel with sadness.

Shod in the shoes of His empowerment,
resting in that oasis of salvation in Jesus Christ,
happily on a sojourn
knowing this world is not our final stop,
but the gift of life He has mercifully prepared,
always rejoicing over its offering
while holding onto the vision
of the day when He welcomes us home.

Granting the heart that special flame
warming during any wintry season
with the cherished assurance
tomorrow’s horizon is in His merciful hands.
