We Dream Still

 This is a special project I’m taking part of for the benefit of Stephen Jones. We’ll post one of his poems here.

Bio

Stephen Todd Jones is a writer and poet from Virginia Beach, Virginia.

While a sophomore at Liberty University, he sustained injuries in a car crash that left him in a wheelchair, and this perspective forms the basis for much of his writing. Through his poetry, he gives us a window into his world and his faith.

We Dream Still

-Stephen Jones

Only some dreams
Are God’s will
For us to obtain here;
We dream still.

Some are contrary to
His loving fill
Of events for our life.
We dream still.

Some are meant to be
Ours though until
Comes the proper moment,
We dream still.

Some of our dreams
God will not fulfill
For He knows better than we;
We dream still.

We think we know better
From our clouded sill,
Facing what we see dimly;
We dream still.

Through a glass darkly,
We see and we will
What may be impossible;
We dream still.

God, may dreams sifted
Be like wheat until
Chaff is winnowed out;
We dream still.

Blessing

This was such a wonderful poem that really spoke to me.

It is my prayer that that through the difficulties he faces, he will feel God’s strength to endure and overcome. I pray that God uses him as an instrument to bless others through his writing and poetry, and that God fulfils the dreams that he’s willed to occur in Stephen’s life.
