We are all instruments in God's great symphony doing our part, Thanks for the lovely poem today,

EVERY ENTIRE SITUATION IS EXACTLY HOW GOD WOULD HAVE IT BE AT THIS TIME IN YOUR LIFE. THE WORD OF GOD SAYS SO! THE WORD SAYS, YOU'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH TRIBULATIONS, BUT I'VE OVER COME THEM ALL. IT SAYS, WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE FLOOD AND THE WATERS, GOD WOULD BE WITH US. THE WORD TELLS US THAT, INDEED, WE WILL WEEP...BUT, FOR A NIGHT AND THEN HIS JOY COMES IN THE MORNING. JESUS SAID, HE WOULD BE WITH US ALWAYS...UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD. THINGS CHANGE BUT GOD DOES NOT...HE IS OUR KEEPER, WE ARE 'NEVER' ALONE. YOU'RE BLESSED, WILLIAM AND KNOW YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE FEELING AS YOU DO...THAT'S WHY GOD WENT TO THE CROSS(GET PERSONAL!)JUST FOR YOU! THERE'S A MAJORITY OF 'ONE' BY YOUR SIDE...PRESS ON! THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

"If God be for us who can be against us?"....... Kinda makes it less lonely!

Love ya!

Life can be a lonely road if we don't have a partner or friend to help us through the hard times.

Dear William, This poem expresses a state similar to mine when my first wife died of cancer and went to be with the Lord. I was shattered and it took much time and prayer to put my life back together again. I have never been to a bad Bible study or prayer group especially if it consisted of strong Christian men. When two or more are gathered in His name miracles do happen. That's the mystery of life. Now, you want a good movie see "I Can Only Imagine" it is the story of my life. I hope you are ad blessed by it as I was.
I hope you had a Buona Pasqua (Happy Easter)!
Christ Love & Blessings, John Michael

Using those quotes, you come out a bit contradictory. Stating in one stanza that you were unlike the bear and "must have you by my side." And then in the end, virtually saying that you are not a great man because you insist on having a partner make you look good. And, you can't do it alone like great people can.

Just nitpicking. I commend you for trying to put those great quotes in one poem in a meaningful way.

to be helpful is a great virtue, not every one possesses this in a natural way; so, we need to learn how. To be helpful for beloved one is easier than otherwise; however, even so, it is a hard work to do. If you want her/him be by your side, you have to realize that without a constant prop there is nothing to be continued long. Unfortunately or not, but I've got it only now. Cheers, alex

Enjoyed the read, but didn't understand the title in relation to the poem.

I enjoyed this one William

Everyone needs someone by their side; no one wants to live "like the bear."
