Poem: Hope Finally Found

I looked for hope

In the peace of the setting sun

But the sun went dark.

I looked for hope

In the beauty of a flower

But the flower wilted.

I looked for hope

In the strength of a Redwood

But the Redwood caught on fire.

I looked for hope

In the calmness of the sea

But the sea brewed into a storm.

I looked for hope

In the kindness of people

But people broke into war.

I looked for hope

In the love of God

And hope was finally found.
