YOU ENDURED
You have endured though many have smeared
Your lovely name and caused you much pain.
You have stood tall and towering above them all.
They tried to crush your sweet spirit
But they could never come near it.
You have been broken but your recovery was a token
A token of the greatness that nothing can destroy.
Through many harsh storms you came forth with great joy.
You would not bend or bow; you came through it all somehow.
As a tree you are rooted and determined to live.
You have so much goodness and love to give.
Your life is a light in the dark dark night.
In your great strength you have caused many foes to take their flight.
Many times you picked up and started anew.
Your grief and sorrow was known by only a few.
Through much pain and suffering you kept that golden day
In your mind and refused to be turned away.
Your faith in God brought you back when death fought for your life.
You have had to overcome many troubles and strife.
Through it all you never gave up hope for a brighter tomorrow.
You realized that some day you would be free of all that sorrow.
Your laughter is like a sparkling brook
Your love for life you never forsook.
Many times you looked death in the eye
And said, you cannot take me no matter how hard you try.
I will rise again and I will show the world the glory of God.
I have already proven that the road of sorrow I could trod.
Now the heavenly gates are waiting for me to enter in.
And I know that is when
My God will say to me, well done welcome home.
Now you will never more in fear and pain roam.
