I find inspiration for my writing everywhere. I find it in personal experiences, conversations with family and friends and I find it often in reading other people’s work.
I just visited a dear friends blog and read her latest post entitled “Trekking to Hope”. You can read her work at www.jenniferswoish.com
This poem was inspired by her words.
“Hope In Him”
– Marie H. Fitts
Oh for eyes to see a future
That is not yet realized
A vision in the distance
Where clearly love transpires
Oh for patience to allow The Lord
To work it all out in His time
Until tomorrow rests in today
And I can clearly see my way
I will trust only in Jesus name
And put my Hope In Him
When troubles come and I can’t see
Beyond the road in front of me
When I am scared and all alone
A wayward heart without a home
I pray for faith just to believe
In promises made for you and me
Trusting not in what is seen
But put my Hope In Him
For solid faith in all He said
In all the words printed in red
For what is living without Hope
Of a brighter day to come
And what is faith without trusting
In our Savior’s Love
Until tomorrow rests in today
Until I clearly see my way
I will trust only in Jesus name
And put my Hope In Him
