Hello Poet Friends,

Hi it's Jac, short for Jacqueline. I was in a Catholic Church when my Spiritual Director, Father Piers Lahey, pastor of St. Andrew Catholic Church, Daly City CA. told me he had a dream of me writing a hymn or a song. We believe in our dreams when we do something about it. Finally, I thought of giving people hope for having perseverance to go on with what positive acts you're doing to yourself so it will bloom or a wonderful outcome. I hope this can be a song.

I had a tragic car accident Best friend passed away Told to be vegetable in bed Persevere through the struggles of life Was in a manual wheelchair Power wheelchair Walker Quad cane Finally the regular cane Persevere through the struggles of life Walked down the street Tripped then fell Walked through College buildings Tripped then fell Persevere through the struggles of life The almighty God, over looking Heard people’s prayer Told Jesus Christ to assist His people Persevere through the struggles of life Sometimes I see people whisper Sometimes people converse Sometimes people give inspiration Persevere through the struggles of life The almighty God, over looking Heard people’s prayer Told Jesus Christ to assist His people Persevere through the struggles of life Saw my childhood friend Ate at Cheese Factory Felt different Turned out to be different We’re all happy, conversing, delighted Persevered the struggles of life Almighty God, overlooking Heard people’s prayer Told Jesus Christ to assist His people Persevered the struggles of life A friend was inspired Dreams to be an inspiration For people to have perseverance that requires courage For courage is the rarest quality of an individual Persevere through the struggles of life To have perseverance requires courage Overcoming doubt and fear Paralyzes spirituality requires courage Achieve perseverance in human spirit The almighty God, over looking Heard people’s prayer Told Jesus Christ to assist His people Persevere through the struggles of life
