      I wrote this poem several years ago and hope that you will enjoy it and that it may give comfort and reassurance into the meaning of life. It goes as follows: LIFE'S JOURNEY I pray that God will bless you At the start of each new day And grant you health and happiness And friends to share your way As you journey through this life To reach that Ultimate Goal May you find peace and happiness Deap within your soul The road is long and narrow Full of trials and sufferings too But you must continually endure it As the appropriate thing to do Each of us has a tunnel Either filled with thorns or roses We must travel through the thorny tunnel To achieve heaven and the roses.

    • Prayer

      From troubled2 September 7, 2007

      I Care I’m sending this to let you know I think of you each day, And pray for your recovery, Hoping soon you’ll be okay. You’re going through a lot right now; You’re treatments can be trying; Remember while you do them It’s your problem you’re defying. Hold on to your positive attitude, And when things get hard to bear, Know that I am here for you; Remember that I care. And when you’re well and flourishing, Look back and realize, You learned what you were made of; That’s a reward that satisfies! I believe in you; You can do it! By Joanna Fuchs
