My Life

Unworthy and helpless I stood alone,
Crying for help from my God.
Life seemed unlivable, chilled to the bone,
Longing to lie ‘neath the sod.

Yet when I cried out, the very next day,
A brother appeared where I served.
Each heart cry was answered, in Jesus the way,
Such grace that I never deserved.

Then fellowship daily with like-minded saints,
Brought peace, comfort, hope, love, and joy.
I replaced thoughts of praise for those sad, past complaints,
So thankful to be “Father’s boy.”

Years later, my wife, the perfect help mete,
Fulfilled all my deep heart desire.
Each moment together so rich and so sweet,
Love blossomed into a true fire.

And now with grandchildren, our son, his dear wife,
Blessings pour forth and abound.
God’s kindness in Christ throughout all my life,
Is the greatest love I’ve ever found.
