The Wings of Hope

Dry Brush Painting of “Just Then in Clouds…”,

I penned the words of this poem when I learned of the grief of a Christian friend as she was suffering through the trauma of her second divorce. Hope is essential to endure through the throughs of hardship and anguish. With hope in God and His promises, we can endure all things — whether they are caused by others or by our own choices. In Him we learn and grow and become stronger in spirit.

THE WINGS OF HOPE

In the morning — just before the dawning,
when the night’s most long and cold,
and the heart of all creation’s longing
for light to break dark’s ruthless hold;

Just then in clouds of angels rising
from the promise in the east
will mount on thunderous wings, these tidings,
“The Day Star comes — with light and peace!”

^{Thomas Fideler}
