Sitting here by myself, Feeling cold and empty. This solitude has caused me to fall. I have fallen on my path of life. Tripped and lost my way. The pain I feel right now Has hit me like a brick wall. Why such an unbearable obstacle Have you thrown in my way? Would God block my path of life? As time goes by, I see his light. I have been walking into a dark corner. I turn and see... God standing there With his arm’s wide open. Ready to embrace me with his love, And show me how to walk back in the LIGHT! I dedicate this poem to my best friend Jeff who resonantly died in a car accident. Jeff... I hope you found God and I look forward to the day that we will be able to meet again. I will miss you immensely and not a day will go by that I will not think of you. Your death has truly been an obstacle for me to overcome. God Bless you my friend! You will be missed.  < !signature--> *~* Come work for the Lord. The work is hard, the hours are long and the pay is low. But the retirement benefits are out of this world. *~* [This message has been edited by Jer (edited 02-05-2000).] |

Jer this brought tears to my eyes. God does not throw the obstacles in our path, but makes our path straight. Like he did for you to be able to go and say goodbye to your friend! I know this has and is hard on you! Keep your faith, and God bless ya Jer! Hey, where's the graphic at? Do you want it on here? |

There are many curve balls thrown at us as we play in this game called life. We must rest our faith in the hands of our great umpire. He knows what is fair and what is foul. Rest on him and on us, your friends. we all will help you in this time of mourning. ((((hug)))) |

Oh Jer, this is such a great poem. Although terrible things may happen, it is all for a reason that is beyond our understanding. We just have to trust in Him. I'm glad you know that life doesn't end with this world! As you know, you are my friend and I'll always be there for you like you've been there for me! "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world" |

Jer...Im deeply saddend by your loss, I will pray for your healing in this time...your poem is a loving tribute to your friend and I know your faith is helping you get thru...as well as your writing. Say strong and find release in knowing he is guiding you now... we live in the light... take care, janet marie Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme, They are not measured by the commitment of time. Some emotions run too deep to be described by words, Forgiveness and understanding- remain the most beautiful words ever heard. Janet Marie |

There's that picture! That's nice Jer! <*\\\>< When you can't make up your mind Which way is right for you, Stop and softly ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do? |

Jer, once again you write from so deep in your heart it evokes strong feeling from each reader. I'm sorry for the loss of a dear friend. Hopefully you can look at the time you had with him as an enrichment you'll have to share with others....living on. We always have to be thankful for each soul we come across in life, for however long we can enjoy their company. It's grace. I'm not deserving of your lines but certainly blessed by your sharing. Thanks |
