I don’t know about anyone else, but without Jesus in my life…I would have no reason to...Press-on! Amen Without You... I would cease to be I would know no peace...no tranquility From the valleys I alone could not alight... there would be no meaning in my life My mountains I would not even dare a search for faith within...would find me bare My hurts would not be nurtured without Your healing smile... I would have no strength to press on and go the extra mile And sleep? I could not sleep a sleep of needed rest then awake to find myself renewed…refreshed There’d be no guidance as I journeyed along the way… and who would I turn to…or cry out to…when I pray? Without You…my world would appear bleak my spirit…downtrodden…so weak There would be no hope for my tomorrows… no dreams of adieu to all earthly sorrows I’d find no sunshine…after the rain there would be no joy…through the pain No balm…no calm…no pleasure in the psalms…Ah! What would be the use…??!?!! if I had to live even a moment, Dear Jesus... Without …You? Ps 4:8, Ps 5:3, Ps 118:14, Ps 27:13 copyright;jmsbell/2022

Very well said! I don’t know how the world deals! After awhile bitterness or sadness rule their soul. (Just a generalization)

Your poem is a Psalm and your poem is about the One the Light of the World that gives us Light in our darkness and eternal hope
