A Dream of Hope - Genesis Chapter 28 Poem

More about A Dream of Hope - Genesis Chapter 28 Poem

In Genesis, a story told,
Of Jacob, timid and bold,
Who fled his home, alone and scared,
To escape the wrath he feared and bared.
He left behind his father's tent,
On a journey, to repent,
To find a wife, as he was told,
And make a future, brave and bold.
He lay down to rest one night,
Underneath the starry light,
And in his dreams, a vision came,
A ladder reaching, without a name.
Angels ascended, angels descended,
In his dream, it all extended,
A bridge between the earth and sky,
A connection to the Most High.
God spoke to Jacob in his sleep,
Promised blessings, vast and deep,
"I am with you, wherever you go,
I will protect you, this I show."
Jacob awoke, with heart aglow,
His fear dissipated, as he did know,
That God's presence, always near,
Would guide him on, without a fear.
He set a stone, as a monument,
To mark the place, where God was sent,
And vowed to serve, with heart sincere,
The God of Abraham, held so dear.
Genesis Chapter 28, a dream of hope,
A promise made, a future to cope,
With God's guidance, Jacob found his way,
And embarked on a journey, come what may.
