Poetry Saturday – “Faith, Hope and Love”

Posted on February 2, 2013 by stellarstanton

Today’s poem uses the “negative description” style – example: “love does not live under stones.”

FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE

Faith does not hide in the gutter

and it usually doesn’t disappear in the hard times.

Rather, it burns brightly in the heart

and gives the soul something to hang onto.

Hope does not drown in the ocean

since it does not disappear somewhere in the tide.

Hope springs up like a tiny tulip

in the last of the winter’s snow.

Love does not discriminate

and it is not just for a certain age group.

The demographics of love

are rooted in the universal language.

Faith, hope and love exist today

like the Good Book says,

But these three entities are not equal.

The greatest of these is Love.

I am an optimistic, positive person who is a three year cancer survivor. Since that time I have learned that getting a cancer diagnosis does not mean getting a death sentence. I like to share my hope with others and continue to encourage them - no matter who they are or what they need encouragement for. I write poems and stories (am also a co-author on the blog http://stgorysquared.wordpress.com) and generally keep things light. Thank you for reading this blog, and thank you to WordPress!
