It ain't over 'til it's over
Whether or not the fat lady sings,
Just don't give up on living
Knowing not what a day may bring!

Things may look so dark and hopeless
But the God of all Comfort gives cheer,
Just let Him decide when it's over
Whether or not the fat lady you hear.

All lives have their dissapointments
Into every life, some rain must fall,
So don't be so quick to give up
When you hear the fat lady's call.

It ain't over 'til it's over
So until you hear Gabriel's blast,
Keep on keeping on, my dear friends
'Til your race be run, at last.

And then let her sing "HALLELUJAH"
For the end is better than the start,
Just live by faith, and not panic--
And surely He'll bless your Heart!




"GOD GIVES- but man must open his hand." (German Proverb)

Dear David; You've spun this cliche into a marvelous poetic wonder of faith. Just what I'd expect from that magical pen and gifted poetic imagination! Bravo and all praise to God! Love, Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

What a lite and encouraging poem to never-ever give up...  Hey, when that Fat Lady sings, "HALLELUJAH!" I plan to be right there singing along with her, aren't you?

God Bless You,  Bob <><
