For those going through rough times, I
dedicate this poem. I know...I've been
there, too.
No one said that it would be easy No one said there wouldn't be pain No one said that it wouldn't hurt No one said there wouldn't be strain
When your heart lies in pieces at your feet When your entire world comes crashing down Pick yourself up, don't give in to defeat To win the battle, just march steadily on
No one said wouldn't be loss No one said there wouldn't be tears No one said it would last forever No one promised a banner year
When your friends have all left, you're all alone You feel like you're lost, and that no one cares Pick yourself up through the trials unknown To win the battle, just turn to God in prayer
No one said there wouldn't be storms No one said it would stay sunny No one said there wouldn't be rain No one can give a guarantee
When you're frightened, more than ever before When the lightning makes you cower in fear Pick yourself up, rise to your feet once more To win the battle, remember all storms clear
No one said it would be easy No one said there wouldn't be pain No one said that it wouldn't hurt Pick yourself up, again, again
AMEN again and again, this should be set to music it sounds to me like a Gospel song. Luv it gyrlfren, keep on gettin up. I hear it loud and clear as I rise up and cheer for you and others who refuse to stay down. < < < < < < <HUGS>>>>>>>Mikii
I must echoe Cassandra's AMEN, Karla. Very wise words well penned. By the way, thank you for your kind review of "Even Ferrets Obey." They are a mixed bag mischief and fun. Love in Christ~~ Bonnie Q
Outstanding write that we ALL can relate to! I don't know how you do it, Karla, but you ALWAYS outdo yourself! How DO you do it? I would LOVE to know your secret! LOL (((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D
There never is darkness where there is not light... and even where despair seems to rule absolutely, there is allways hope. Your poem, and your courage, embody, with your permanent smile through all tears, this wonderful truth, my dear, sweet friend.
