"A New Hope, or a New Dream"






Drunk man


"A New Hope, A New Dream"



The drunk man sat, on a park bench
Holding a whiskey bottle, loosely in hand
Saluting everyone that passed him by
Then yelling . . . "Isn't Life Grand?"



He got himself up, and staggered
Slowly, along the city street . . .
Talking to himself, as he went
I couldn't help but wonder,  why
On self destruction, he was "Hell bent"



I wonder, does he know
That there is a God
He can call on, to help show the way
A God who will help him
Clean up. . .his life
Guiding him, day after day



People like him, have a lonely heart
Or maybe lacking, in self esteem
But. . .If he would ask
God would surely hear
Placing in him . . . .
A new hope, or a new dream



Let us keep these kind in prayer
For like children, that don't know
Jesus is waiting, He's always there
Watching, wherever they might go!
