Guest guest Posted May 29, 2001 Report Share Posted May 29, 2001 Okay, Here is the poem inspired by Caren's " Looking Back " Jane Lifetimes 5-23-01 1:12 " Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. " (NIV) Looking back seems long ago We could run & jump, going to & fro A different life we surely lived Energy abound, so much to give. Bells rang out, that we could hear Sweet music playing to our ear Now the tunes play in our heart Our world is silent, without a bark. Another lifetime has come to be A slower pace, with challenges you see With pain and loss, all around There's something new to be found. A strength from within that gives us life Prayers, hopes and friends to handle strife A stronger person we are today Because of life's changes that came our way. We see the world from a different view Life seems more real, have you felt this too? We are humbled with our ills today But we are blessed in so many special ways. Each breath we take we come to know How God and friends, they love us so We feel others' sorrow and wipe the tears We remain together through all our fears. In every loss there is also gain We keep on going right through the rain Our perseverance builds up each day And we speak the truth in what we say. I feel truly blessed in all I do In spite of losses from NF-two We can rise above the physical loss Remember, God gave us His Son at a much higher cost! Psalm 105:4 " Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. " (NIV) JDW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
