3rd Edition
A Prayer of Hope combines numerous poetic rhymes and free verses to express personal, social, and spiritual insight into the writer’s thoughts and experiences. Most poems in the book are proceeded by scriptural verses for thoughtful meditations on biblical precepts. Insightful Bible verses can enlighten the soul and heighten understanding of biblical messages such as the metaphorical verse, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life” (Proverbs 13:12).
A Prayer of Hope poetry is presented in various styles. The book opens with its first poem as a poetic elegy reflecting on the loss of a loved one, while the narrative style poem of “Freedom Land” presents the desires of those who willingly risked their lives to leave country and family to search out possibilities of freedom from tyrannical controls. In the poem “Right Things,” an acrostic style presents the phrase ‘Jesus Christ Our Savior’ using the first letter of each line. The theme poem “A Prayer of Hope” expresses how confusion inundate the mind when goals are unattainable and hope acquiring desires of the heart is lost.
