Day 360 - A Special Thank You Poem



Family Time - July 2014

 

“Lessons from the Detour”

Someday you’ll face a mountain
That seems taller than your faith.
You’ll look to God for answers,
Relying on His grace.

He may not answer quickly.
You might wonder if He’s there.
But His Spirit lights the pathway
And you know that He still cares.

You want to cry in anger.
You want to cry in pain.
But then He sends a neighbor,
With laughs and pie… again.

August 2014- Yak Attack!

You worry about your children
Because they’re worried too.
And God inspires your favorite daughter
To insist to go with you.

Your heart is nearly broken
As you see the toll upon your son.
And then God sends his baseball coach
On game day number one.

While the road was tough and daunting,
I was never on my own.
He even sent me online friends
Who are the best sisters I have known!

August 2014 - Life is Good!

The doctors were amazing.
The nurses even more.
And who’d of thought when this got started
Such a blessing was in store.

And now that treatment’s finished,
And life returns to somewhat norm.
I bow my head with gratitude
For the lessons from the storm.

I hope to not repeat this.
And yet I know for sure.
Whatever plan He has for me,
I know I can endure.

But enduring isn’t living.
I shall not live in fear.
For every moment’s precious,
And each day of life I’ll cheer.

Last Day of Active Treatment - August 2014

This poem was a hard one
To open up and share.
But I wrote it to say Thank you,
To God and each of you who care!

I could not do it all myself
Even if I wanted to.
So, “Thank You” Heavenly Father
And Thanks to each of you!
