The Hope I See In Thee
This is a poem I started I couple of weeks ago when Hope decided to end her dialysis treatments.This kind of an emotional outlet. I don't usually share sensitive stuff like this. So I thought I would try something new this time and share.
The Hope I See In Thee
Dedicated to Alcie Hope Kendall
Sept. 1,1938- June 12,2008
Your denim blue eyes, your heart felt laughter.
Your undying love for the Lord, our Savior.
My husband, best friend, her baby you'll always be.
This is the Hope I see in thee.
11 years ago in her lap you sat so bold.
With your hand in her hand a pen you did hold.
Your love of knowledge, the gospel, artistic ability,
This is the Hope I see in thee.
Her physical features, you have more than one.
Your compassionate sevice for others like Gran'ma had done,
Following the Lord's example, "For unto the least of these".
This is the Hope I see in thee.
Your love for music, to know it by heart.
You share with your Gran'ma an incredible art.
To live and love life in your own harmony.
This is the Hope I see in thee.
At times you feel small, timid and shy.
We gave you her name for strength to try.
Courageous and strong, a fighter is she.
This is the Hope I see in thee.
Tho' you never knew her outside a hospital wing.
You and Gran'ma both loved to sing.
As I watch you grow with a spirit so free,
This is the Hope I see in thee.
Her unconditional love for everyone in the room.
Her unwavering faith when others saw doom.
"Take care of my baby." she said, "For all eternity."
This is the Hope I hope to someday see in me.
