Hope is trust eloping away with love.
Hope is resting in good God above.
Hope is renewed vigour of your heart.
Hoping, loving,

My Joy comes from Hope

My joy comes from hope in the small things everyday,

the giggles of a child, the sound of a beagle's

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good:

The honey of an encouraging word,

The salt of tears, confessed and released.

Heaven's

"First Contact"

The slightest touch tingles every inch of my skin
Our eyes lock and dance for hours
Bodies mingle in the sweet

In the overall scheme of life on this earth,
From conception through the day of our birth,
From birth throughout the rest
