Bitter- Sweet
Life is a mixture of emotions causing the heart to spin around.
A carousel of shattered dreams with big ole tears flowing down. We grace the stage with great applause, smile and take a bow.
Our stardom may fall in shambles leaving the brain to wonder how.
Defeat, though a bitter pill to swallow, can be healed in time.
The sweets of life most pleasurable, may also prove unkind.
Living is a difficult race to win but once won, it’s hard to beat,
but memories called up from the past, can make it bitter- sweet.
The road walked is a long journey when clouds are dark with rain.
It can be hard to navigate raging waters across a bounding main.
The sun will come out and waters dry, a fact sure to repeat.
Jesus clears the rains away and makes the bitter, sweat.
Ephesians 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us
who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which he
wrought in Christ. Ephesians 2:14 For he is our piece.
