Encouragement poem

IN THIS LIFE

In This Life,
You'll have days of bright and blue
with good friends and laughter....enough to see you through.

In This Life,
There will be misery and doubt
things you scratch your head at....and just can't figure out.

In This Life,
You'll have dreams that reach the sky
and passion to move you.... until the day you die.

In This Life,
There will be days of pain and loss
and times when your only comfort is The Man upon The Cross.

In This Life,
You'll imagine what could be
and think the world is yours for all eternity.

In This Life,
There are trials you must face
and days when the world leaves you lost without a trace.

In This Life,
We are called to help the poor
to leave the cushy comfort that rests behind our door.

In This Life,
You’ll be astounded at how quickly years go by
and look back at memories that often make you cry.

In This Life,
You'll taste both victory and defeat
and make mistakes that wisdom won't allow you to repeat.

In This Life,
You'll find answers to the questions you hold dear
and live for Him who'll take away your worries and your fear.
