In Our Precious God, We Trust

 

I have tasted

 

the sweetness of life,

 

a baby’s cry

 

a child’s hug

 

a teen’s concerns,

 

a family’s rush to gather in more

 

of the goodness

 

that surrounds,

 

due to the presence of our Lord.

 

 

 

And I have also seen sadness

 

that threatens delight

 

in our souls –

 

the tearing of love from a mother’s

 

heart, when drugs and other

 

evils threaten her home

 

 

 

and I weep.

 

And I pray –

 

do not allow such troubles, Lord

 

to come upon our family’s shore.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I was very blessed to have been introduced to Esther who accepted my proposal of marriage and 41 years later we remain in love with each other. Our four children are grown, we have five grandchildren and one great, great grandchild. Living life is so precious and this poem is a reminder of the different stages we encounter.
