Jesus is the Answer

Jesus is the answer
when your world is dark and drear.
Jesus is the answer,
when everybody here
on Earth is bringing you to grief,
no where you turn brings you relief;
consumed are you with doubt and fear.

Remember what you learned
at your sainted mother's knee.
"Jesus is the answer
to all questions there may be."
Her words brought solace to you then,
they'll chase all doubt and worry when
repeating them with true belief,
accepting Jesus as your Chief,
in faith you are that child again.

Jesus is the answer
to the what, the when, the how.
Jesus is the answer.
You knew it then, you know it now.

Joyce,

What a Beautiful Beautiful rendition of my challenge. WOW!!! Challenge well met!!! Like you expressed here in your poem, I too am most thankful for my relative (Grandmother) who took me to church at a young age and introduced me to Jesus Christ (The Answer) and to His Wonderful Wonderful Word.

Thank you for accepting the challenge and, again, thank you for sharing this Beautiful Beautiful poem.

God bless,

-Bob

Joyce,
hunnie is right. This does flow right off the page into our hearts. Evoke pleasant memories mixed with eternal truth. Nicely done.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
