A Bend In The Road

 

When we feel

we have nothing left to give

And we are sure

that the song has ended,

When our day seems over

and the shadows fall

And the darkness of night

has descended,

Where can we go

to find the strength

To valiantly

keep on trying?

Where can we find

the hand that will dry

The tears that the heart

is crying?

 

There's but one place to go

and that is to God,

And dropping

all pretense and pride,

We can pour out our problems

without restraint

And gain strength

with Him at our side.

And together we stand

at life's crossroads

And view what we think

is the end,

But God

has a much bigger vision,

And He tells us

it's only a bend.

 

For the road goes on

and is smoother,

And the pause

in the song is a rest,

And the part that's unsung

and unfinished

Is the sweetest

and richest and best.

So rest and relax

and grow stronger ...

Let go and let God

share your load.

Your work is not finished

or ended ...

You've just come

to a bend in the road.

Just received this lovely poem from a friend. Things like

this. Written by Helen Steiner Rice.

 

Thanks to all who appreciated the last poem I sent out.

I don't always thank everyone personally but thank you
