Within the dark gloomy night <br />three ladies with lanterns await <br />to guide us along the path <br />and lead us safely home. <br />The ladies are simply called <br />Faith, Hope and Charity. <br /> <br />Faith <br />is our faith we hold <br />as a bond so dear <br />that the good Lord <br />will guide us away <br />from the evil that we hear. <br /> <br />Hope <br />is that new beginning <br />that rises with the morning sun <br />that our day will be <br />filled with abundance <br />of joy, laughter and love <br />from dawn to dusk. <br /> <br />Charity <br />is for the helping hand <br />that we sometimes need, <br />but we also give <br />along our way home. <br />The hand we out stretch <br />to someone who has fallen along the way. <br /> <br />They are three sisters of mercy <br />that are always around, <br />the ones that show us the way <br />when we have fallen on rocky ground. <br />The three saviours in our life, <br />Faith, Hope and Charity. <br /> <br /> <br />3 April 2011<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/faith-hope-and-charity-2/
