The Wreck

The last few weeks have been real hard You see the "dealer of life" deals the cards As the trials and blessings come and go It's true we must reap what we sow At times the trials are many and the blessings are few Just let the light of your soul shine on through Yesterday I walked to the bridge over the creek By the time I got there I was tired and weak As I sat on the bridge taking a break Questioning "how much more can I take" A speeding drunk driver lost control I watched it unfold nice and slow Sometimes the blessings are clear to see They crashed into the rail right next to me My guardian angel said soft as could be I'll never give up on you don't give up on me These last few weeks I have felt rather low With a deep down emptiness up in my soul So regardless of the pain or length of the fight I reckon it's once again time for me to write For my pen is the tool that I use to see The power of the Lord working in me

Wow, this one made me cry.. A friend of mine is fighting cancer at the moment and just yesterday we we're discussing his battle and him questioning how much more he can take.. Awesome Michael ~rgds WN

This write made my eyes teary. What's the word for it dejavu (I probably misspelled that) Many years ago, feeling the way this poem reads, I kept asking myself 'How much more can I take', the pain of the situation was almost unbearable. But today, I thank God and my children, that I am still here. Exquisite write my friend...Exquisite.
