LESSON

I was thinking of you all and think we all can relate to this poem:)

LESSON

by Grace E Easley

They said "you'll never make it",

And they thought that they were right.

But I kept on plodding onward,

Because I hoped I might.

And they shook their heads in wonder,

That I lacked the sense to quit,

But I held my chin up higher,

And I didn't mind a bit.

They said "you'll never make it",

As the problems multiplied,

But I had to make an effort,

And to know at least I tried.

So I dug my heels in deeper,

Though sometimes my spirits lagged,

And I shouldered what was lightest,

And the rest I sort of dragged.

And I found to my amazement,

At the ending of the day,

That what they said I couldn't,

I had managed anyway.

It only took three little words,

"Lord help me", and I rid

myself of doubt, and all they said

I'd never do...I did.

Actually, I had been praying for guidance, because of some self-pity personal issues,when I came upon this poem in some old papers. I knew when I read it, it was God's answer to me:)
