Dear Lord, I know you'll never give to me, More grief than I can tolerate, that's true. But Lord, I also know without a doubt, I could not bear the sorrow without You. Just as I think the world too dark and drear To hold the grief I feel, the sun comes out. My soul is cleansed, I feel Your presence near, And my whole being does a turn-about. Once more the sky is blue, the clouds are gone And I pick up the pieces of my heart. Though kith and kin are leaving one by one, I still have You who've been here from the start. With You beside me Lord, the world has joy And there has been more happiness than pain. Your promise is enough to see me through, The knowledge that I'll see them once again. By: Joyce 01/09/02 |

Dear Joyce; This faith that you write of is so beautiful! It's so true that we could never bear the pain without His Love. Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Joyce, I so appreciate these times of reflection that you write here about. When my life is put upon the balance, like you, I can assuredly say that God has been so very-very good to me. I also look forward to that great day when once again we'll be joined with friends and family that have passed on before us and to see our Lord and Savior face to face. I do appreciate also your poety and thank you for your kind replies to my poetry on both sites. God bless you. -Bob |

We all await the "sweet chariot" to carry us over the Jordan to our loved ones ... after our work is done here on earth  Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
