POEM 2 : WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT YOU

When tomorrow starts without You

And You're not here by our side

If the sun should rise and the clouds roll by

Our tears of grief, we'll hide

To carry on and pretend to smile

Sometimes there is no mood

But reflecting on our journey

To us, God has been good

He must have understood

We love You, Oh so much

Yet He went ahead to take You

We yearn for one more touch

As You lay in bed, We watched You sleep

We prayed God's Will be done

We did not know when we prayed that night

That God would take our son

You had so much to live for

And much too young to die

What was God thinking, we cried

As tears streamed down our eyes

It really did not seem possible

That losing You was God's choice

As we struggled with grief and confusion

Be Still, We heard God's voice

You were sent to earth for a purpose

And now it is fulfilled

The chapter ends, the page is turned

We bow down to His Will

What God has given, God has taken back

He left us in devastation

As we pick up the pieces, we slowly rejoice

In His promise of eternal salvation

We will continue to trust God faithfully

Although we have no clue

The question WHY will forever confront us

When tomorrow starts without You

Poem 1 : GIVE THANKS

 

As I knelt on my knees in church today

I thought of what Aunty Jessie had to say

Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart, she'd asked me to find

I searched for the video, reluctantly that time

I came up with excuses, that the background was still

I wanted a moving scenary so it would look real

But Jes saw through me and said last night

Try as You like but You cannot hide

Like You, she says, I find it difficult to pray

I spend time with the Lord, but I don't know what to say

I read her message, and I understood

It's just hard to see that the Lord has been good

But God works in mysterious ways

No matter how difficult, remember always

When things don't make sense

and You can't comprehend

When You don't understand

and You don't like His plans

When You lose what You have

and You can't force His hands

When You see only one set of 

foot prints in the sand

GOD says, BE STILL ...

Today, I want to focus on the things I should be thankful for

The gift of DANIEL is my blessing, I couldn't ask for more

I give Thanks to the Lord for this blog and facebook link

I am grateful I can still connect with him

I am thankful for friends and strangers who drop by here

Penning their thoughts, from far and near

For the prayers, encouragement and wonderful inspiration

I am blessed with all the support and warm contribution

To friends who meet us and know what to say

To those who don't, it's really okay

Somewhere over the rainbow, He will make a way

There will be an answer, so Let It Be, they say

Though my heart still aches, since the day we had to part

I'm learning to GIVE THANKS with a grateful heart
