Paid my dues along this life’s trails,
And I have no regrets at all;
Understanding what life’s about,
Little is gained until we fall.

Didn’t understand that too well,

B
efore I fell dozens of times;
Everyone seemed to know but me,
Rewards are everywhere to find.
Until I looked deep in my heart,
Black clouds seemed to hang over me;
Even when an Angel was sent,


It took awhile before I could see.
(was)
Humbly, I asked God’s forgiveness,
Understanding, I didn’t deserve;
Much more than a slap in the head,
But instead, He gave me His words.
Leading me to a better way,
Enabling me to serve Him;
Didn’t believe I deserved that,

But who am I to question Him.

This has such wisdom. I think we learn much more when we fall than when we succeed.I have to say- with me thought, it sure doesn't feel like it at the time. I really liked this one Paul.

With Love,
Cindy

Hi Paul, I think that's one of the hardest things is when life humbles you when it seems you're the only one that didn't know. Paid dues but always to the Word of words.... great write, my friend... stay strong...


In Spirit,
Bear
