Poem of Hope, Faith, Love

There are some good days

They'll be those bad days

Tears occasionally some days

Smiles on the other days.

Emotions don't choose the day

Coming in waves, day to day

There are happy or sad days

Some more than any other day.

For the Lord our strength

He is our firm foundation

In the deepest dark valleys

Or standing on mountain tops.

I will love on our good days

I'll love on our bad days

I will love you on beautiful days

I'll love you on crazy days.

Come what may, day to day

Even if it requires a duvet day

Those conquer mount everest days

Tears allowed come what may.

Man's words might break us

But God's grace sustains me

In these times of difficulty

He shall be my testimony.

Let not my praise be silenced

With my open heart, I come

Even when the chips are down

I know 'My God' is with me.

The news was hard to process

For I know this diagnosis is hard

I shan't be blasé, others face it too

But with God, we'll face it day by day.

Yes, I'll carry your cross in my pocket

As a reminder of your love for me

A symbol of my faith in Christ

Hallelujah, Jesus living in me.

We are part of a loving family

God's family are here as well

Being in fellowship together

No one should walk this alone.

As my nana used to often say;

"These things shall pass"

I know she is looking down on us -

Saying "Keep looking up, kid...."
