It's a long road out of Eden when seeking harmony one step forward, two steps back with crippling... drudgery I've walked along the beaten path have often lost my way the journey led to nowhere passages... were gray No light seen in the future sky had lost its hue heavy clouds, 'n darkness demons... ruled my world Obstacles grew bigger beat me in defeat bridges always crumbled tears fell... in puddles deep Tried to hold my head up drowning in life's mud sinking ever further Hope and Faith... were null Seeking out His answers looking toward the sky whispering 'Sweet Jesus' I hope and Pray... to die Then... Suddenly I realized HE has a special plan tears started falling freely me reaching... for HIS Hand Should I ever falter He'll love me just the same His loving arms, a cradle soothing... inner pain When I fall and stumble for sure He'll carry me give new Hope, salvation guide my... destiny These trials I face have purpose will earn my wings to fly one day I'll dance with Angels set free... to roam blue skies No more pain and sorrow I'll find that inner peace my journey will be worth it in final breath... of sleep ~ ~ ~ © 2008 Rose Marie Streeter Note from Rose Marie Streeter The message is this, "There is always Hope no matter how many storms cross our paths...We have all had our fair share of sadness, turmoil, loss of Hope, BUT.. we must always remember, it is temporary, the best is yet to come.. :) " 01/03/08 (All rights reserved) Click to subscribe to Front Porch Inspirations Midi Playing: You Are My Hiding Place by: Rose McKinley "Tears" © Designer Lady from the Members Collection
