Poem
If the promptings in you are the works that you do And you trust in the Word that is free Then you live by the light, and you do what is right For the sake of a world family You may question your worth and the good of your birth Or the views of such people as me But the vision is true, and the power in you If you trust in the one you can be For the love in your heart is a good place to start When you strive to be honest and true You will pass up the worst in a race to be first In the faith of the humble and few In the heat of the night you will put up a fight In defense of the cause that you serve But you never stay down with a permanent frown If they throw you a strike or a curve You will run with the best and be up for the test Of the hardships that plague you the most But you never will hide, as you take them in stride With a smile instead of a boast You are patient and kind, like the others you find In the faces who want you to win For they love you and more, they will help you to soar When you suffer the anguish of sin There is love all around, but the future is found In the blessings of God and His Son For the person you'll see, is the one you can be When the sheep and the shepherd are one You may fall by the way in the heat of the day For the dearth of a lake or a tree But the way is assured by the truth of His Word And the promise of what you can be.
