Because You’re Heaven-Sent

When the world is dark
and the task is unbearable
All you have to do is ask
and He will send a companion.

The Bible says,

"A true friend loves at all times"
and many times I've known its true
for God indeed sent me
a good friend I found in you.

You were there when I was down

and made me smile when I frown.
You always had an ear to listen
and held me up  when I was badly broken.

Therefore,

all my sorrows, joys, and victories
I share with you wholeheartedly
Because with you the better I grow
and because God gave me you.

My Fear

A buoyant song floats in the air.  It's so loud.  I can't do anything but keep my eyes closed tightly.  The superficial is singing with the tune, but the deep within is fearful ... of tomorrow's surprise that nobody knows!

Will I cry?  Will I smile?  Will I win or lose?  Do I have to risk a thousand bucks to win this game?  Am I the hope of everything - of friends and family?


I fear that one day, my dreams will shatter.  I do not think I would make it.  I am terribly afraid.


Then, a voice whispered, "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?  The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1)  Then continued with this, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)


And I found myself looking at the sky, gazing up at God's wonders.  I saw Him smile and disappeared beyond my sight.


That night, I slept hoping to wake up on a brand new day.  Tomorrow, it will be the start of another journey with God beside me.

One Rainy Day

I see the rainy day
as a weather sent by God
for this gives cold water
to the dry and dying plants.


The rain does nourish, too

the farmer's aching heart
for the crops would grow healthy
to meet all of man's demands.


It also makes a song

of tips and tops aloud
and all we have to do is pray
to thank the Lord our God.
