POEMS OF HOPE
To Believe What the Eyes Cannot See
To trust when you cannot see the way,
To keep on believing when there’s no one else
to cheer you on,
To keep on hoping
To keep on dreaming
Even when your way seems blocked,
Even when you’ve waited for so long,
Just carry on, carry on.
Drop by drop
Your cup shall overflow,
Inch by inch
You’ll walk the mile.
Be impatient not for the day
For it will surely come!
It will give way
To the man who knows
What he truly desires.
Clouds shall gather without your knowing,
Seeds shall grow beneath the ground,
And soon the clouds that have gathered
Shall pour as heavy rain,
With showers of blessings before your very eyes.
Soon the seed shall be a tree,
Mighty and strong,
And yielding a hundred fruits for the picking.
Trust that none can stop that rain from falling,
Or that seed from breaking free.
And you shall break free!
One day you, too, shall see
How God’s own plan comes true
How He shall make a way for you
Until you reach your destiny!
Maybe not now, but later on
Maybe not now, but later on
the words you've said will be remembered
they will come back,
full of meaning, and of truth.
They shall return
and they shall speak
as though speaking
for the very first time.
Maybe not now, but later on
a heart will be changed,
a grudge will be forgotten,
a hurt will be forgiven.
In that perfect time
when a light shall be cast
to help us understand
what we have failed to fathom before.
Maybe not now, but later on
we all shall walk upon one road
hand in hand
heart to heart
singing together a brand new song.
In that perfect day
when we shall see each other's face
and be glad that we were friends
in that great journey we called life
In that day, we'll be looking
at the same sky
and we'll be dancing with one song
finally seeing
finally hearing
what our hearts have known
all along.
Tired
There are times when I feel tired...
tired of hoping
tired of trying to make things happen
to make sense of things
to make sense of where I am
right now.
And when nothing works
I go back to where I was
to places I had been
and I try to bring back
the happy memories
times when I was
where I was supposed to be.
But sometimes memories are not enough
to feed one’s heart,
for soon I also get tired
of remembering
tired of looking back
tired of not being able
to bring back
the happy...
To trust when you cannot see the way,
To keep on believing when there’s no one else
to cheer you on,
To keep on hoping
To keep on dreaming
Even when your way seems blocked,
Even when you’ve waited for so long,
Just carry on, carry on.
Drop by drop
Your cup shall overflow,
Inch by inch
You’ll walk the mile.
Be impatient not for the day
For it will surely come!
It will give way
To the man who knows
What he truly desires.
Clouds shall gather without your knowing,
Seeds shall grow beneath the ground,
And soon the clouds that have gathered
Shall pour as heavy rain,
With showers of blessings before your very eyes.
Soon the seed shall be a tree,
Mighty and strong,
And yielding a hundred fruits for the picking.
Trust that none can stop that rain from falling,
Or that seed from breaking free.
And you shall break free!
One day you, too, shall see
How God’s own plan comes true
How He shall make a way for you
