This is a poem taken from my book: How to Handle Adversity. (1998).
I wrote this poem a month before my 18th birthday in 1964.
Lord, without hope of earthly good,
With no fear of night terror,
I will proclaim your testimonies,
To powerful and simple men.
I want to be serene, serene, always serene,
Like mother nature on autumn afternoons,
With the royalty of your presence,
That has brought your sweet calm.
I want to love you over beings and things,
Because you are my strength and my song,
Because you light up the stars and perfume the roses,
And you keep my soul from the dark ocean!
You are a refuge against the storm!
Contemplating the immensity of the universe,
And seeing your beauty in nature,
I can only praise you!
And from the depths of my being shout a:
Long live Jesus Christ! Hallelujah!
This is my Story! What’s Yours?
