The Hope of All Hearts (The Poem)

The Hope all Hearts 

(The Poem)

An original poem written by James Kok

A 2nd year civil engineering student, Universiti Teknologi Petronas, 

Sri Iskandar, Perak, Malaysia

Where are you when I’m crying,

I’m hungry and I need food,

I’m thirsty and I need to drink,

I’m cold and I need a blanket,

I’m sick and I need healing,

I’m crying…

I’m desperate….

To have someone to hold me,

To have someone to love me,

To have someone to hug me,

And to tell me that everything will be okay…

Jesus:

I’m beside you my child and I heard you,

I’ll bring you food to fill your stomach,

I’ll bring you water to quench your thirst,

I’ll knit you a blanket with pure wool,

I’ll bring the medicine to you to cure your sickness.

I know you are crying,

And I know that you are in desperation,

I long to hold you in my arms,

And to brush through your hair with my loving hands,

Just to tell you that

Everything will be okay,

Because I’ve sent my only Son to save you,

To die for you My child.

And I’m looking,

Just finding,

A servant to bring you this news.

And to tell you that I love you…
