POETRY: VISIBLE HOPE

VISIBLE HOPE…

Open your eyes to this day of hope

Held up in strands only you can rope

Strong enough to hold up your hopes

Look at the spider; oh! She may give you some hope

See how she spins strands into a webbed home of ropes!

Look around and you’ll find your rope!

For scattered around are the many strands of your rope

Or could it be inside like that of the spider?

Patiently, web together your small, strong strands

And you’ll surely spin a fortress, like a spider’s home

The Lord is near, our hope of hopes

Our Fortress, He’ll call us to our eternal home
