the days of health, the days of strength?
Every day now, 'fore the dawn,
I know there will be pain at length,
but I cannot turn from my task
to hold genuinely to a smile,
so this, my Lord, is all I ask,
that You hold me all the while
my body fades and wastes away,
through the endless aching night
and through the challenge of the day
that I remain, and that I might
pass on the blessings I've received
to the ones in greater need.
Syl suggests I not pass on my ice cream.
Andrew, this prayer is beautiful. And you are passing on the blessing of your words and thoughts to encourage so many. May the Lord continue to strengthen you and Barb and bring days of relief from pain.
