"Shining Light"

In my May Archives I have something called "A Walk With God In The Rain" which I hope you read.  In it I inserted a poem I wrote about a side of pain that concerns God.  So many here live so bravely with such burdens, I thought it was worth another post:

                                   " SHINING LIGHT "

If you do live in constant pain and fear you'll never smile again,

If every move is full of woe, you feel there's no safe place to go,

Seek out your God, your closest Friend, and do not break when you can bend.

You've always been within His sight, so make of pain a Shining Light -

Dwell upon this very hard, for life can be so tough and scarred,

In every plan or scheme or race, give your thought to Saving Grace.

For it's not the hurt that makes us brave, it's not the fear of coming grave

But rather it's the way that we, turn on our Light - with Dignity.
