The Unseen Hope - Advent - Hope

 

I dreamed about you earlier,
We laughed and had a chat.
Sitting, once more, in the kitchen
Where we’d so often sat.
 
We’d been laughing, some silly thing,
When you stepped out of view.
I answered you with a question,
But no response from you.
 
I asked again, I called your name,
But still heard nothing back.
So, I got up and followed you
Still making my wise crack.
 
Yet, as I walked to where you were,
Or, where you should have been,
You were not there. I was alone.
Then I woke up again.
 
I miss you, and that will not change,
But life must still go on.
The empty places in my heart
Reflect what is now gone.
 
Yet I cling to the unseen hope
That I’ll hug you again,
For we all trust in the promise
From heaven’s Son of Man.  
 
Romans 8:24
For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?
