Rachel’s Hope

Left out in the cold, young yet feeling so old.

Not proud of the choices made, now the price is paid. 

Looking for love in all the wrong places; now forced to run all of life’s races.

Joy of life moving inside, show and tell, nowhere to hide. 

Where to run, where to go, off in the distance does a light glow.

`Tis a lighthouse in the midst of this storm; drawing closer, note it’s age old form.

Once inside, letting go of all pride.

A shelter from the storm as the joy of life inside does form.

Finding a place of mediation; going through the process of great decision.

Time passing by with the tick of a clock; finding one’s self in the cleft of the rock.

A presence that gives a ray of hope; grabbing hold of it tightly like a rope.

Like the beauty of a flying dove a name has been given to the lighthouse from heaven above.

It’s called Rachel’s Hope.
