There are many times the day is long
We try to keep our faith so strong
We attempt to do the best we can
As we follow a rather simple plan.
But then, without a warning call
Our peace comes to a grueling crawl
Upsetting all that we have done
We feel that we’re the only one
To face the fears, heartbreak and loss
And into turmoil we are tossed
It shocks our being to our soul
And after a time it takes its tole,
What do we do? We ask our self
Do we put our world upon a shelf?
It hurts so bad we’re at a stop
We feel like a failure, our dreams a flop.
But this is the time, my friend, that we
Must open our eyes wide and see
We are not alone, we have to trust
In our faith, for now, it is truly a must.
And as the day comes to a tiring end
Go look at the sky created by Him
Take in the beauty as you stand on His sod
Cherish the sunset with your God!
