Hope lives within me
It is all I have to keep me going
I could not survive without it
Hope is like a door
That leads to a world of endless possibilities
When trouble finds me
Hope is the beginning of escape
If my friends turn against me
Hope still clings to my side
Hope remains with me
When my family lets me down
It is my security blanket
In a world turned upside down
If I should lose all that I have
If my heart should be filled with despair
If I should feel lost and alone
I know that Hope will always be there
It is a light that pierces the dark
For Hope is Jesus Christ,
The Master of my heart.
About This Poem
Our lives have been turned upside down since the coronavirus struck our world. Many people have lost their jobs, many businesses have shut down, and many health care workers have lost their lives in helping others to treat the disease.
I decided to publish this poem on my website in the hope that it will encourage you to keep having faith and hope in God that He will be with us and will carry us through this difficult time. God is working behind the scenes even though it may not seem like it. We just need to have faith that we will beat this virus one day, the lockdown measures will be lifted and we will be free to go back to work and our children will be able to go back to school.
This disease will not last forever. One day our lives will return to normal. This world has been infected by other deadly diseases in the past, and the nations were able to overcome it. So although we are struggling in this terrible time, I can say with confidence that “this too shall pass.”
