No Promises

When hard comes, the struggle,
greater comes, the extended strength.
A person discovers, whom they, really are,
living through, the truly, difficult length.

For no promises,  is there, in continuance,
of all, the goodness, without the bad.
In one moment, things are, how they be,
in the next, things aren't, what you had.

I like this poem, it is true that we will face hard times and it is in our weakness that the Lord will make us strong, life was not intended to be hunky do, but with God he helps us face the hard times and carries through there is comfort knowing we dont have to strugle alone, things only last for a season then they gone, this is going on my faves, a great reminder material stuff is worthless and fades but God stands foreevr. God bless you from diane
