Linda's POEM

 

No birth certificate is issued when friendship is born.
There is nothing tangible.
There is just a feeling that your life is different
and that your capacity to love and care has miraculously been enlarged
without any effort on your part.

It's like having a tiny apartment and somebody moves in with you.
But instead of becoming cramped and crowded,
the space expands,
and you discover rooms you never knew you had until
your friend moved in with you.

Thank you for allowing our friendship to live,
May we always keep in touch.

"Pathway To Pain"

If my days were untroubled
and my heart always light,
would I seek that fair land
where there is no night?

If I never grew weary
with the weight of my load,
would I search for Gods peace
at the end of the road?

If I never knew sickness
and never felt pain,
would I search for a hand
to help and sustain?

If I walked without sorrow
and lived without loss,
would my soul seek solace
at the foot of the cross?

If all I desired
was mine day by day,
would I kneel before God
and earnestly pray?

If God sent no winter
to freeze me with fear,
would I yearn for the
warmth of Spring every year?

I ask myself these
and the answer is plain,
if my life were pleasure
and I never knew pain

I'd seek God less often
and need Him much less,
for God is sought more often
in times of distress.

And no one knows God
or sees Him as plain
as those who have met Him on the
"Pathway of Pain."
