I see a flower with all its loveliness
I see storm clouds with all their fury
I see a child run to the open arms
of a dad
I sense the
cool taste of water after a run.
I sense the yearning to know you Lord Jesus
From a child this wish has been with me
Yet life with all its injustices drew me away
Bathe me now with Your presence so pure.
Let my spirit
inwardly know of this union
Give
me peace amidst the jostles of life
For
only when this occurs am I at rest
And Your spirit permeates outward to others.

FINDING HOPE POEM
By Frank E. Henrich 1984
Hope is help,
In a world full of uncertainty.
Hope is peace
In troubled waters.
Yet, Christian Hope is more
Than help in mere existence,
It is a candle
Burning in the darkness.
In our twenties
Our Hope lies
In the strength of our bodies
Which seem eternal.
In our thirties
Our Hope lies
In our resolve
Yes! I can do it.
Then come the Advent years,
Those years of preparation
For a new Hope
A new candle in the distance.
No longer is the physical body
A Hope.
No longer are great resolutions
A Hope.
No longer is stamina
A trusted resource,
The candlelight of self
Is not so clear.
Then, what is one to do
In those Advent years?
Is there another candle,
A light of Hope upon the horizon?
Yes, it is the Light of Christ.
It is not dependent
upon us.
It stands as a strong
beacon,
A Hope that
is a helpful trust.
You say, “I can’t see it!
I’m looking
But I can’t see it.
Where, where is this?”
The Light of Christ radiates Hope
That warms a life with Joy.
It can only be seen
When light of self is diminished.
During this Advent season
When we meditate on Christ’s birth,
Let us ask Jesus
What would please Him?
Could it be that
Jesus would say to us,
“Search and find my Advent Candle
That lights a Hope for you?”

Matt 4:16 & 5:15, Luke 1:78-79
