The Spark Of Hope Poem by Joseph Anderson

The Spark Of Hope

Rating: 4.9


Why is it that we never find
The joy of living, peace of mind,
Until we taste life's sorrow?

Why is it, though however dark
There still remains a tiny spark,
That promises a brighter day, tomorrow?

This spark of hope is faith in man,
Is faith in the eternal plan;
Without it we would falter.

Hold fast your spark and hold it true,
It will become a torch for you;
A torch that lights the way to Heaven's altar.

Wonderful, inspiring poem. I think this may be the core message in one of my favorite readings, the book of Ecclesiasties. Great poem Joe, from a great heart and mind!

A wonderful poem. I lost my faith just before my wife died and I always regret not going to church with her as we used to. In her death I found my faith again.10 out of10 for this lovely poem. Thanks Jo.
