As time has gone on, I have taken more time with my writings before posting them. A lot of myself goes into everything I write, at least in terms of poems and reflections and such. With that being as it is, I have told myself I need to sit with each things I write for a while and pray with it, especially so before I post it for all to see. That being said, I am now sharing a poem I wrote while meditating before going to the midnight Christmas mass (at 11pm…perhaps the closest I have gotten, but hey, consecration was at midnight). It is entitled “Hope” and as I said, it is written by yours truly. I find it more as a prayer than a reflection, or perhaps it is both, and maybe even more. Thank you for your honest reading and sharing in my journey.
HOPE
My hope is in you my God
Whose guiding strong hand
Whose living walking presence
Whose flowing steady breath
Leads me where I must go
My hope is in you my God
For you have stayed with me
You have reached me many times
In many ways, all three forms
My God you hold me close
Your embrace is tight, warm
It catches me when I fall
My tears are precious to you
The movement I make is yours
My hope is in you my God
Where else is there to turn
God, you do great things for me
My thanks goes on forever
I must always reach for you
My hope is in you my God
