I have had a great deal of problems come up in my life in the past few days, but thinking about it made me come up with this poem. I had to quit feeling sorry for myself. I hope it doesn't come across too preachy. Tonight’s not over, but already I’m beat Before the moon goes down it wants another defeat As darkness came, so did my problems Too many to handle, don’t think I can solve ‘em All I ask for is just one break I give and I give and I give and I take All of the problems that this world has dealt And all of the pain that I have felt Drowned in a sea of my own sorrow Look at my horizons, can’t even see tomorrow I wish this was my last night of pain and guilt Looking forward to nothing, all my hopes wilt It seems to only get worse, all I see is red But for every dark night, there’s a bright day ahead It may not come tomorrow or the day after that My problems won’t be solved right off the bat God has put them here to teach me a lesson So I’ll hold on for the ride and quit my stressin’ The path God put me on is hard and long But what does not kill me will make me strong I know I’ll come out a better man So I’ll try to attack it the best I can Only by his grace do I have this life For him I’ll put up with the pain and strife Cause for us he died upon the cross In the scheme of things, mine’s a very small loss Even though it betters me, these nights I dread But I know, for every dark night, there’s a bright day ahead |

"Even though it betters me, these nights I dread But I know, for every dark night, there’s a bright day ahead" WOW! I love the message you give us here. We may go through a lot of problems and pain, but if we have faith in God, there will always be a bright day for us! With all of the dark poetry in here, it's good to read something like this. Thank you so much for posting this! "Where there is great love there are always miracles" -Cather "Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav |

Hey. This was sooo great, mind if I print it? I need a reminder that God's in control...and this was an incredible one. ~Carly Home is where the heart goes when it needs a band-aid. |

Thank you all. I have been strungling with different things/people this week. Very confusing times for me. But I know that if I trust God then I will come through. Thanx to everyone for reading it, and Carly, if you feel that you want to print it, if you already haven't, I would be honored. Jon |

Yea i think this is an excellent poem. Great job and good luck in overcoming what you need to!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |
