I don't let the troubles
Of life get me down,
For I know that my Lord
Will soon turn things around.
I've learned to be patient
And hold to His hand.
I know through it all
My God has a plan.

I've learned not to lean
To my own thoughts and ways,
For He is the Author
Of all of my days.
In Him is my faith,
My deliverance, my rest,
For He knows that through trials,
My life shall be blessed.

Why fret over things
Not within my control,
When God offers peace
To my mind and my soul?
He is my salvation;
On Him I depend.
All things work together
For me in the end.

Hello & welcome to JSH!

It only takes a moment
To watch a butterfly
Glide gracefully on gossamer wing
Across the blue of sky.

But oh, the sheer enjoyment
That such a moment brings;
Its beauty lifts my spirits high-
All day my glad heart sings.

It only takes a moment
To give a friendly smile,
To pay a lovely compliment,
Or share a thought worthwhile.

Yet, little acts of kindness
Can cheer some soul along,
And plant within a lonely heart
A joyous, vibrant song.

Beverly J. Anderson

Awesome poem Michael!

The greatest treasure on this earth-
That God has willed to be-
Is just the gift of love of heart
He gave to you and me
For, in this gift, He sowed the seeds
To harvest goals in life
That will fill us with content
And give us strength, in strife.

It is a treasure, meant to be
A bond of sacred tie
To bless upon us joys of life
Until the day we die
And-by His Grace-to light the way
To peace of heart and mind
That is the goal of every soul,
Above all other kind.

Michael Dubina

I want to thank all of you for your warm welcome & your kind &
encouraging words! This is an awesome site with alot of AWESOME people!

Touch my heart and I'll touch yours
with a gentle word or two,
For kindness bears the sweetest fruit
that makes our dreams come true.

Touch my life with tenderness
ans fill my cup with love.
Share my dreams as I share yours
beyond the stars above.

Take my hand as I grow old
and lead me when I'm blind.
Show me that you really care...
good friends are hard to find.

Touch my heart and I'll touch yours
a little more each day
Until we both find happiness
somewhere along the way.

Awesome poem!

Awesome poem Michael! Remember that you're in my thoughts
everyday!

I stood one day at my wits end-
Then you came in the door, my friend;
And just your very presence, brought
A ray of light for which I'd sought.
And as we sat and talked awhile,
My frown soon changed into a smile.
New hope sprang forth, dispelling fear,
The path ahead became more clear.
You truly seemed to understand-
Your spoken word; warm clasp of hand
Were what I needed that bleak day,
And I thank God you passed my way.
Now, unafraid, with courage strong
I face each day with joyous song.
And if some day I see a friend
Who stands alone, at his wits end,
I'll pray that I, to him will be
The caring friend, you were to me.

Beverly J. Anderson

May I never be too busy
When someone comes to call
To sit a while and give a smile
And not act bored at all.

If, by some chance, he needs help
For a sad and lonely heart,
I'll lend an ear to offer cheer
Before he must depart.

If I cannot solve his problem,
I can, perhaps, ease the pain
By being kind, so he will find
He's welcome back again.
