Tears Rivers of Sorrow wash over my soul Cleansing renewing and making me whole Memories of pain now distant, unclear You realise it was but folly to fear The rivers have slowed, now but a trickle Each drop creates a cool calming ripple That spreads from the soul, relieving your pain Life no longer seems futile, in vain The past now gone, the journey resumes Happy for now the future still looms Many more times will you bathe in those rivers Just because people are takers not givers I hear you asking me, "when will it end" Only when he comes- Jesus, my friend |

Sometimes life feels like nothing more than a series of trials; but on the other hand, it can also be seen as a series of joys... all the same in the end, either way. I like the positive spin on this. It often feels like such a struggle to climb out of the 'hole' but it is worth it.  |

Very well written! The message is well conveyed. Jesus has already come and promised to stay with us till the end of time ... we do have the power and His support to bring more love and justice into our world NOW. Unconditional love is the magic word that makes it possible, we need to practice it, beginning with us and our own endeavours. Not easy, but POSSIBLE. Margherita |
