The Rubber Ball

Have you ever bounced a rubber ball? The way it bounces back off the wall There is a simple truthful fact Harder you throw - harder it bounces back Sometimes things are clear to see As I’m the ball the ball is me Sometimes life can be real hard As the dealer flips another card The devil attacks in many ways I have seen some real hard days There is truth in the things I write Devil and I are having us a fight Just as the truth is the honest fact Many times I’ve bounced right back I wrote this poem with a smile See I like to go that extra mile I have found in the prayers I pray I’m a rubber ball who is here to stay I wanted to thank you all for the prayers. I woke up this morning pretty optimistic about everything that is happening. I reckon the Lord will have my back. You know thats a real good feeling something I dreamed I could say. May God Bless Us All !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
