Pray For Hope Every Day Poem by John Sensele

Continue to try harder and never cry
Despite temporary setbacks
That in your way present a face wry
Challenges aplenty in irritating stacks

Never let up
Despite sorrow and lack of glitz glow
As your happiness tap
Seems to dry up leaving you feeling drained, strained and low

Every now and then
All the more reason determination to grow
In your career, prayer life, crib and Eden
Squeezing so hard you attempt to throw

Away principles, procedures and value systems
That have borne your challenges through thick and thin
Regardless of varieties and types of items
Life at you throws in clean, lean and mean

Times when it seems as though the end of the road draws nigh
Disaster and its sister Sorrow
Not entertaining, not hearing reasons from darkness you fly
Away to a brighter tomorrow

Destined and designed for you and yours
Long before your life saw the light of day
To open for your life, your dreams, your aspirations doors
Where hope lies in wait for you as long as each day for hope you pray.
