Poem # 4

What We Face

We may face hardship.

We may face adversity.

We may face failure.

But it won’t crush us.

Through God we will rise.

Through God we will conquer.

Through God we will have victory.

Through God we will soar like an eagle.

Through God we can and will do all things.

A Month of Poems : Widen My Vision

God, open my eyes to I may see

And feel your presence close to me.

Give me strength for my stumbling feet

As I battle the crowd on life’s busy street,

And widen the vision of my unseeing eyes

So in passing faces I’ll recognize

Not just a stranger, unloved and unknown,

But a friend with a heart that is much like my own.

Give me perception to make me aware

That scattered profusely on life’s thoroughfare

Are the best gifts of God that we daily pass by

As we look at the world with an unseeing eye.
