Out of the Dark

Give me a track to walk upon Give me a mountain to climb, Give me a reason for living Then give me a reason why! Let me delve into worldly problems Let me delight in the good fight, Let me have a reason for living Then let me know, the reason why! Give me comfort to rely upon Give me resurrection to life, Give me a reason for living Then give me a reason why! Let me journey into the unknown Let me bring happiness to that life, Let me have a reason for living Then let me know, the reason why! Give me a sign to refer to Give me a course to guide, Give me a reason for living Then give me a reason why! Let me yearn for my ascension Let me earn my ticket to ride, Let me have a reason for living Then let me know, the reason why! © Harry J Horsman 2020

The Bible tells us that the whole reason for Mankind is to give honor and glory to God. God created us for the same reason we have children and adopt pets. We want something to love and to give our lives meaning. This is a fine write . Makes one think. Good job. God Bless, JB

I silently wish you win all contests you enter, or share with Paul if he enters ones with you. Shalom, shalom Sir Harry!

amen. a humble plant, if it keeps growing, is food! We touch people with words, prayer, not deeds - big ones - alone. Waiting for the end destined is an adventure, unless pain calls for euthanasia (?? unsure about it). Life is an adventure what Jesus will do. By keeping me in South Africa, I may escape being among 250,000 deaths from COVID-19 Trump says is coming
