It’s easy to grow downhearted when nothing goes our way.
And it is easy to be discouraged when we have a troublesome day.
Why not look at trouble as a challenge that will spur us on to achieve?
When the darkness shuts out the light,
We must lean on faith to restore our sight.
For there is nothing we need know
If we have faith that wherever we go
God will be there with us to bear
Our disappointments, pain and care.
God’s love endures forever ……
When the tides of life runs against us and our spirit
is downcast and low ……
God’s kindness is ever around us,
always ready to freely impart
strength to our faltering spirits
and cheer to our lonely hearts.
Have A Dream

Very nice poem!♥
Most favorite stanza:
“When the darkness shuts out the light,
We must lean on faith to restore our sight.
For there is nothing we need know
If we have faith that wherever we go
God will be there with us to bear
Our disappointments, pain and care.”♥
