Don't Quit

Monday, March 12, 2012

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, 
the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
when the funds are low, and the debts are high,
and you want to smile but you have to sigh;
when care is pressing you down a bit,
rest if you must, but just don't quit.

Life is strange with its twists and turns,
as everyone of us sometimes learns;
and many a failure turns about, 
when he might had won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow, 
you may succeed with another blow!

Success failure turned inside out,
the silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
and you never can tell how close you are,
it may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
it's when things seem worse,
that we must not quit.

I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and it left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found tat place at the close of the day.

If my passing has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy,
A friendship share, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now, He set me free.

One Eagle's Wings

And He will raise you up
on eagle's wings,
bear you on
the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine--
like the sun,
and hold you in the palm
of His hand.
