Poem
A NEW VALLEY You walked through many valleys through sixty-one short years With a dear wife beside you, a woman you loved dear. She helped you in those valleys with comfort, love, and prayer, Reminding you your Savior was walking with you there. But one day came a valley where you would walk alone— That comfort of your spouse now was silent and was gone. You looked there in her casket with one sad final gaze And knowing now the valley would be alone to face. You knew, though, from experience that it was not you two Who faced those many valleys that you each were led through. There was ANOTHER presence so real and yes Divine; It was the blessed Savior who now you knew you’d find. There now in this new valley we call a shadow drear You think of His dear promise, “no evil will I fear.” As you walk this new valley, remembering your wife, The vales you walked together—the trials and the strife— Keep walking with her memory, for that is never wrong, And keep forever treasured her ministry in song. Keep walking with the Savior, for He will guide each day As you walk through this new valley, He’s with you all the way. Those songs and happy memories will make your valley bright, The presence of the Savior will brighten every night. I know you’ll walk this valley with courage and with smiles, For you know you’ll see this loved one in heaven after awhile. --Dedicated to Dr. Lawrence Grandy after the passing of his wife, Carolyn.
