New Hope

Dear Lord, I know you'd never give to me More grief than I tolerate, that's true. I know this Lord, without a single doubt, I could not bear the sorrow without you. Just as I think the world too dark and drear To hold the grief I feel, the sun comes out. I could not bear the sorrow without you. I know this Lord, without a single doubt. Once more the day is bright and clouds are gone. I thank you for the lovely skies of blue. I know this Lord, without a single doubt, I could not bear the sorrow without you. With you beside me Lord, the world has joy And my whole being does a turn-about. I could not bear the sorrow without you. I know this Lord, without a single doubt. Inspired by Jared Pickett's "Mirrored Refrain" contest.won hm

You know, Joyce, you really got me thinking with this great poem. And I believe you are correct. Just when we feel we are at the end of our ropes and can take no more, prayers help to turn things around. You have a very loving and spiritual quality to your work. This one's brilliant and I wish you success in the contest! Love, Carolyn
