Hope
By Paul Wilson
For Lyra

These roads you have traveled long and far
Have brought you to where you are

Hope has always been your guiding star

You’ve shared so much over the years
A thousand roads and ten thousand tears

Hope has helped conquer your fears

Together your love remains strong
Your time spent apart always too long

Hope has become your love song

Each day a treasure you will forever keep
A moment in time to comfort you while you sleep

Hope will dry your tears when you weep

Sharing all your plans and dreams
How many times they got lost it seems

Hope lighting your way like moon beams

Starting over so many times it seems
Making new plans and dreams

Hope will guide you across life’s streams

Hope will walk with you down memory’s lane
Hope will be near to ease your pain
Hope and friends come together in your refrain

Hope is tomorrow's smile
Hope is today's prayer
Hope made yesterday a better day
HOpe keeps the heart open
Hope is a need, it is a gift, it is something to share, it is what the spirit sips in honey drips from the mind
Sometimes it seems all we have,
Sometimes we are overwhelmed by its glory
Hope becomes a prayer, that is sometimes honored and becomes reality
Hope is a dream that sometimes doesn't come true, but it keeps the eyes smiling in the meantime, making loved ones smile with you.
And that is the bottom line, that hope give a bit of quality to our lives and makes the stuggle less less negative.
Hope is contageous, it is a candle from which other light thier own wicks of promise.
Thank you, Paul, for this beautiful poem.
My prayers continue to for Lyras future days. May they be filled with love and friendship and HOPE
Love to you, Lyra.
Liz

And with all the love and prayers I can muster I will light a candle of hope for Lyra and I hope that others will join me?  Paul, this is wonderful of you to re-post as Liz knows and said, hope and love are the most wonderfully contageous and healing things there are, so let's get this show on the road.
Here is my candle, or as I wish to call it, my little love light for Lyra.




r'fu-a sh'-lei-ma
The renewal of body, the renewal of spirit, Amen.



                   
Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.

Strength, Courage And Love

For you dear Lyra
In my heart to heart way
I’ve requested angels
To be with you each day

For you my dear friend
I prayed to god above
To shine on you each day
Strength , courage and love

You will be in my thoughts
Heartfelt prayers I send
Hoping a speedy recovery
To you my special friend

Paul, I think about my dear friend Lyra, everyday. And, hope and pray that she will get better. I also hold onto the faith for her, that there will be a miracle for her and she will go to the doctor one day and maybe her cancer will be gone. Some people seem to think I am crazy for thinking this way, but I do believe there are miracles that can happen. Lyra is one of my best friends here, and has always been such an inspiration to me.
Sending hugs to you, Lyra. Love Ya!

Thank you so much for reposting this great poem of love for
our dear sweet Lyra. Without "hope", we would be lost.
My prayers are right there, joining everyone else for our dear friend.
The Good Book says "one can put a thousand to flight and
two can put ten thousand". Just think of the results when
all of us here join in prayer.....

Yes, thoughts and prayers for our Lady Chipmunk, I have been missing her words! But more than that, hope is what I'd love for her!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Sometimes life seems to fall apart
a little at a time,
and we want to fold up our dreams
and put them away.
Then from somewhere inside,
there comes a song of courage
and we know we can never give up.
Hope is that song we sing to ourselves.
Although it may be difficult to hear,
it is always there for us,
deep within our hearts.
As always Lyra...You are in my thoughts and prayers.
~Warm healing hugs, Nancy~

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Paul, I too join you in your prayers, sweet friend, Lyra is a very special friend to all of us and I know that because I talk with her on the phone and she is by far one of the most compassionate and loving friends I have ever had and is so deserving of warmth and comfort and joy! (big hugggssssss) I wish wholeheartedly I could attend the upcoming poetry meet, though my schedule may have conflict with it, but know that all of our angel hugs are going out to her! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I am speechless at this time, God Bless You Lyra, may our love do the healing, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paul, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Your beautiful heart speaks for all of us in letting Lyra know how many people love her and are holding her hand through this difficult time.  Your words were so heartfelt and so very moving.

I have never met Lyra either, she is known to all of us here at PIP as Madame Chipmunk and has been fighting cancer the past few months and we all pray that she gets well.
She is a wonderful cheerful lady from Michigan.Thanks...Paul
