Thought I would share the poem that was in our church bulletin today.
PERSEVERANCE
When all the world is looming dark
and things seem not so clear,
when shadows seem to hover ‘round,
Lord, may I PERSEVERE!
When it seems everything’s been tried,
and there’s no way to go,
just let me keep remembering,
sometimes the journey is slow.
I may just need to stop and rest
along the path I trod,
a time to try to understand
and have my talk with God.
As I gain new strength to carry on
without a doubt or fear,
somehow I know things will be right,
And so I PERSEVERE!
Anne Stortz, from “Chicken Soup for the Unsinkable Soul”
