Some or most of you may have already heard this poem. Someone gave this to me the other day and I wanted to post it. I don't know who the author is, but I think it is a beautiful poem. Love you all!
We Can't Have a "Cross" Without a "Crown"
We all have those days
that are dismal and dreary
And we feel sorta blue
and lonely and weary,
But we have to admit
that life is worth living
And God gives us reasons
for daily "thanksgiving"
For life's an experience
God's children go through
That's made up of gladness
and much sadness too....
But we have to know both
the "bitter" and the "sweet"
If we want a good life
that is full and complete,
For each trial we suffer
and every shed tear
Just gives us new strength
to persevere
As we "climb" the "steep hills"
along life's way
That lead us at last
to that wonderful day
Where the "cross" we have carried
becomes a "crown"
And at last we can lay
our burden down!
