Bones Ache Yet Heart Sings

Smile and know: bones ache yet heart sings
when you are walking in the light.
More blessed are you than queens and kings
when you with gladness do what’s right.

All suffer in this world of strife.
Smile and know: bones ache yet heart sings
when you simply love your life!
Lust not for material things.

Oh, what sweet joy family brings.
Be good to them, and make friends too.
Smile and know: bones ache yet heart sings.
Just take the focus off of YOU!

One day you’ll suffer nevermore.
So give your inner angel wings!
Great blessings for you are in store.
Smile and know: bones ache yet heart sings.

Anither FAV for my list my friend. Well written with a beautiful message for all of us that sometimes feel the bones aching but still feel the need to sing praises to God for the blessings we've been given. May you find comfort in knowing many love who you are and the poetry you share with us. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill
