BEAUTIFUL MIDST GOOD CHEER

Be of good cheer* midst radiant glow
   Smiting gloom along vibrant delight
      Optimizing moments with glad zest
         Marked by hearty laughter: ha-ha-ha…
            With exuberance of gratitude
               Share God’s blessings such as peace and joy
                  Lifting others in prayer of hope
                     Then rest at night with beautiful smile.

*John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
