By Dr. Sophia Edwards-Bennett
Hope……
Biblically …is expressed as a rhetoric of faith
That to wit …there is no debate…
It is the interceding chime …in the midst of depression…
Interrupting our perseverant thoughts …of suicidal ideation…
But if you listen very closely…you will surely hear …
That still small voice…that echoes the drops of your tears…
And if you wait, with patience…just for a little while….
A reassuring face will appear, with a comforting smile …
You see my friend….you’re well worth the wait… so it’s not in vain…
There is a soothing remedy… that will heal your heart’s pain…
So rest in His grace…as you lay for a night…
For in the morning Hope cometh …with the dawn of daylight.
