A little poem that I wrote today:
Perhaps the hardest part of life is drudging through the snow;
or yanking out some thorny weeds, not knowing how they grow.
Or watching a young child turf it on their bike;
or getting your feelings hurt by the person that you like.
Perhaps the hardest part of life is when you have to make a choice,
even when you stand alone in doing what is right.
True others may abandon you and think things that will hurt,
yet the fire of sin isn't something, with which you want to flirt.
Perhaps the hardest part of life is working all day long,
or watching a friendship end, wondering what went wrong.
Or waking up at 5 am, on just three hours of sleep,
or realizing someone lied to you, causes you to weep.
Perhaps the hardest part of life is when your truly ill,
you puke and puke and cannot stop, regardless of your meal.
Or when the rain pours down in life, and never seems to stop;
and all the good you thought you'd done, turns out to be a flop.
Perhaps the hardest part of life is learning from mistakes,
or losing your favorite sunglasses, while swimming in a lake.
When life gets so hard that you can't take it anymore,
know the greatest man that ever lived, has felt those things before.
Perhaps the hardest part of life is finding faith in Christ,
living what he teaches, and knocking on His door.
But if you turn your heart to Him, much happiness awaits,
he'll strengthen up your shoulders, so you can bear more weight.
And then the hardest part of life won't be so challenging anymore,
because of Christ's Atonement, He's felt it all before.
And so it is you'll have a friend, through all of life's ups and downs;
He'll open up His loving arms, and help you get rid of frowns.
So in tough moments turn to God, and answers He'll supply,
He knows it all; He'll give you peace; and He will make you wise.
