Janice Canerdy Poet Footle

He Will Never Leave Me Nor Forsake Me

praying
knowing

faith is 
growing

blessings
flowing

Scripture
reading 

God’s Word
heeding

Spirit 
leading

my soul
feeding 

on the 
right road

such a
light load

God’s peace
bestowed

*******
tide is 
turning

feelings
churning

anguish
burning

trouble
knocking

Satan
mocking

faith is
shaken

peace is
taken

*******
life can
plunge me

from the 
mountain

to the
valley

God can 
lift me

from the 
valley 

to the 
mountain

dwelling
with me

at each
level

of the
spectrum
