Haiku Lighthouse of Hope

Haiku Lighthouse of Hope

A Poem by Nancy Lee Shrader

Haiku Lighthouse of Hope

My love has left me

He has gone to peaceful rest

His pain is no more

 

 

This pain in my heart

Is relieved by memories

Flashes when needed

 

 

 

Hope for tomorrow

As I relive yesterday

Moment of courage

 

 

 

Optimistic outlook here

Smiling though I’m grief stricken

Little faces see

 

 

 

Too much to live for

My children and grandchildren

See hope in their eyes

 

 

I will carry on

My love would want this for me

I will make him proud

 

 

 

Live for the future

Determination is mine

With strength from the Lord

 

 

 

There is more than this

Life is just a tick in time

Reunion will come

 

 

 

My faith is my hope

My Savior will come for me

Together at last

 

 

He will not wait long

In the twinkling of an eye

I will see him smile

 

 

Without faith grief lives

Sorrow overcomes the soul

And strong hearts soon fail

 

 

 

My faith I’ll embrace

As faith wipes away the pain

Fills my heart with hope

 

 

 

I’ll stand on the rock

Until Jesus calls my name

My faith will see me through

 

 

My Lighthouse of hope

Shines from the heavens above

See His outstretched hands

Another sad but hopeful grouping of haiku

this is a lot better now that i've read it for a second time. but try to add more spice to your word choices. find another word or two for faith.
