Wow! I bet even atheist knows Psalm 23. It's recited at most funerals.
Psalm 23 - A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

My favorite line is the bottom line, "Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever." Thank you Joyce for shining bright light in this time of darkness! John Michael

Two lines struck out, hitting true to mark:

"Our fragile souls require no less
This calm assurance, within the press."

Yes, we are fragile souls indeed, especially as we see now as a mass population across the glove, and it is "calm assurance" that we all need "within the press." Thank you.

We are children of God, and HE will protect us from all obstacles and sickness in this world. We can seek comfort from HIM in times of trouble. Well-penned, Joyce!
