Life Long Consequences
Having reached my retirement age
now look back on all of life
taking time to ponder on it all
picking out the highs from the strife
The consequences of a stammer have been mine
thinking over all the negative effects upon me
so much socially has been passed by
not able to communicate normally so free
Meeting girls in my teenage years
this never materialized at all it seemed
looking back maybe for the best
big families are not part of my life theme
But through meeting Jean and Christine
whom I fell in love with and came to my rescue
sadly Jean passed away after being wed
then wed Christine finding love again for new
Such consequences change your life
in my case for my good and best
God showed He was in full control
His providence was no foolish zest
In all of these lifelong consequences
God's hand was always at the centre
bringing me to Jesus for my salvation
showing His one way that I could enter
(I've written this looking back on my life and the consequences that came about due to God's provident hand at work. To explain I was married to Jean in 1981 and she passed away some 10 months later and got wed again in 1990 to Christine whom we've been wed for 31 years this year.)
