Pensees On the Tests and Trials of Life

In the tests and trials of life, there's a precious glow,
   a luminous sliver of eternal, resurrecting hope
      and renascence that begins in rebirth.

To this Light which transcends all darkness will I go,
   and find a peace and a rest in His scope,
      that infinite power which brings bliss and mirth.

There's a time for everything: a time for living;
   a time for dying; a time for working; a time for resting; 
      a time for receiving; and a time for giving.

All we have, and all we are,  are what we know;
   we find meaning in one another, and learn to cope
      with the trials here together on this planet Earth.

Without grace, we can do no better or no worse:
   with God, the tests and trials of this life are for us 
      a blessing in disguise, and not a curse.
