My Strength Within

Searching for answer what life's all about,
traveling this winding road.
At times I get down but don't count me out,
no matter the heavy load.

God does not give more then we can bear,
sometimes it is hard to go on.
Our faith gives us hope so that we may dare,
to face even the darkest dawn.

Burdens are heavy our dreams are so light.
keep searching they will come true.
With hope your sorrows will stay out of sight,
tomorrow brings joy to you.

Cry your tears to wash away all the pain,
God gave us teardrops to weep.
We can not have beauty without the rain,
wash away hurt hidden deep.

With hope and faith you go to any length,
winners never lose losers never win.
Reach deep inside for your hidden strength,
when life kicks you in the shins,




Author notes

Everything that happens in life is there to aid our spiritual growth......M. Scott Peck

What is faith? It is the confidence assurance that what we hope for is going to happen.It is the evidence of things we can not see. Hebrews 11:1

    No, God does not give you any temptation without the means to stand up under it, and I'm convinced no adversary either...remember Satin is permitted to work his ways, and at God's tolorance, for a season. Well done poem!
