When one comes to the edge of the light
It feels like one dropped off the edge of the earth
The very life you once have known suddenly becomes unknown
What one does not tell how faith is taught
As children it comes so easy
Now we are adults,we learn it over and over again
In the very hour of darkness we kneel,before our Lord
Asking for our child like faith again
Knowing that God will care for our needs
In the hours of our need,when we look so alone
Hardest lesson to learn faith is seeing the unknown
Knowing that God answers our prayers
One is yes another is a no there are some that are maybes
Which may take years and years to come true
In God family trials some how makes us stronger
I'm sad to say only our God aboves sees our life
When we become like a child,we truly see our Lord kingdom

They say God puts on us no more than we can bare...
But sometimes I wonder if I haven't had more than my share of the load in recent years...
We can pray but will have to wait for the answers and sometimes we might not get the answer right away
Beautiful truly poem of faith..love...and trust...
May God hold you in the dark night and be there to answer your prayers...
Congrats on the honorable mention as well
It was well deserved
Hugs

This heartfelt write is laced with wisdom and truth learned by experience and pain. Our God works in mysterious ways but always to our benefit. We have to wait on answers to prayer, for in our waiting our faith and trust is shown to Him who will bless those who draw near to Him. This is a beautiful and inspiring poem of faith and trust, well written and so very meaningful. May His blessings be upon you dear friend.

Thanks for sharing,
You have been through trials after trials I read here, and still try and shed light upon others who you care for. Thinking about this group, among all the other things going on in your life with taking care of someone ill. I admire a heartbeat that beats pure and tender true, just like you. You are appreciated, and thanks so much for your entry. All the best in all you do, may your strength grow, for you use it I can tell for the greater good.
God bless, peace, Timothy
