Better late than never.I wrote this poem over a year ago and I don't see that I've posted it here, so I'll post it now.GOD bless.-Bob

Hope Shines Through

What joys must come when hopes arise
To fill GOD's ornamental skies
Through Faith that shimmers on the hills
With touch of glow like daffodils

Rejoicing GOD for each new spring
The robins once again will sing
While busy building little nests
And nursing hatchlings from their rest

Oh, catch a glimpse of sprouting sprig
That blossoms green on tip of twig
And marks our earth with gentle light
That hope shines through when Faith is bright.

Peculiar isn't it how GOD allowed me to forget and then prompted me to post this poem now? I guess GOD has His reasons? I'm so glad that you were both blessed today by this post. Thanks so much for your kind replies. -Bob

(smiles) Yes, yes, God indeed has His reasons and I believe with all my heart He wanted you to wait to post this on the perfect day, the summer solstice! (smiles) I believe it with all my heart, and I believe He is also the reasons daffodils glow and robins sing to us always! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is fabulous, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Robert, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah,

Perhaps, it being the longest day of the year, along with us and our praise, the robins and the daffodils had a bit longer to rejoice as Hope inspired by Faith lit up our sky.  It could be....  Thanks for your insight and GOD bless you my poet friend.

-Bob

Joyce,

Yes my friend, we all need to have Hope to survive and as the Lord says, "We need to encourage one another....."  Thank you my poet friend with your continued encouragement.  GOD bless.

-Bob

Tracie,

Thank you for your applause and for your most encouraging words.  You know what, I'm kinda glad I got around to sharing this poem too.

Have a blessed day in Christ my friend.

Your "Wonderful" melody adds a perfect touch to the praise. Thank you so very much.

Enchantress,

So happy that your heart was lightened this morning perhaps by something that I had written. What an honor, but all Glory be to GOD. GOD bless.

Dulcinea,

Always a privilege to read that a poem that I have written has encouraged a Sister in the Lord. Let me just say here that I've enjoyed and have been encouraged by your poems about Love and your Thankfulness toward GOD as well. GOD bless you.
